Because with a text /etc/mailman.cf configuration file, you then
have to write a program to parse that content and to deal with all
possible exceptions.
When the configuration is done in the Python language in a Python
script, you can let Python do all the parsing, and do the equivalent
of "#include" in order to pull in all your configuration details.
