Mark,
Thanks for your suggestions. I tried running it using withlist as you
suggested. My
maxmessagesize.py is below:
###maxmessagesize.py
### determines maximum message size allowed to select lists
### useage: withlist -l -r maxmessagesize
def maxmessagesize(m):
#
# open and read the list names file
f = open('/home/chris/lists.txt')
l = f.read()
#
# is this list's name in the file
if l.find(m._internal_name) >= 0:
m.max_message_size = 500
m.Save()
m.Unlock()
f.close()
The following is the result:
./withlist -l -a -r maxmessagesize
Importing maxmessagesize...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./withlist", line 275, in ?
main()
File "./withlist", line 247, in main
mod = __import__(module)
File "./maxmessagesize.py", line 8
l = f.read()
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Can you give me some idea what may be wrong. I realize your suggestion was just
off the top of your
head. I also don't quite understand the need for the lines:
if l.find(m._internal_name) >= 0:
m.max_message_size = 500
If I have already written out a file of lists that I want to affect with
withlist, it doesn't seem
like I would need this.
Thanks for any suggestions that you can give me. I am a little slow at picking
up Python.
