Sure, Mark (my apologies for misinterpreting what line.strip() does.
Here goes:
I'm starting with an empty list called Test and a file, Long,
with a subscriber (me) in long format, and another file, Short,
with a subscriber (me) in short format:
// Empty list
$/usr/share/mailman/bin/list_members -f Test
<nothing>
// The files Long and Short
$cat Long
Allan Hansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
$cat Short
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
// Here's the traceback from add_members:
$add_members -r Long Test
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/mailman/bin/add_members", line 277, in ?
main()
File "/usr/share/mailman/bin/add_members", line 257, in main
addall(mlist, nmembers, 0, send_welcome_msg, s, enable_mail)
File "/usr/share/mailman/bin/add_members", line 157, in addall
mlist.setDeliveryStatus(member, MemberAdaptor.ENABLED)
File "/usr/share/mailman/Mailman/OldStyleMemberships.py", line 338, in
setDeliveryStatus
self.__assertIsMember(member)
File "/usr/share/mailman/Mailman/OldStyleMemberships.py", line 113, in
__assertIsMember
raise Errors.NotAMemberError, member
Mailman.Errors.NotAMemberError: Allan Hansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
// The command did not add the address:
$/usr/share/mailman/bin/list_members -f Test
<nothing>
// Now let's use the sync instead. No problem here:
$/usr/share/mailman/bin/sync_members -f Long Test
Added : Allan Hansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
// The address is indeed added:
$/usr/share/mailman/bin/list_members -f Test
Allan Hansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
// Now, let's try removing same. We have a problem:
$/usr/share/mailman/bin/remove_members -f Long Test
No such member: Allan Hansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
// Indeed, the command failed:
$/usr/share/mailman/bin/list_members -f Test
Allan Hansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
// But we can use the short format. There's no output from this command.
$/usr/share/mailman/bin/remove_members -f Short Test
<nothing>
// But the command did succeed:
$/usr/share/mailman/bin/list_members -f Test
<nothing>
The above shows that 'add_members' and 'remove_members' don't understand
the long format that is readily accepted by 'sync_members' and output by
'list_members'.
