* Dennis Putnam<d...@bellsouth.net>:I am developing a script that gets a list of members from a mailing list (mailman 2.1.15). I'm using popen (in python 2.7.5) to issue the command. However, even though I am running it as admin for that list, I'm getting a permissions error. How/what do I need to set in order to run that command? def getUsers(): "This function returns a list of users from mailman" p=subprocess.Popen(["/usr/lib/mailman/bin/list_members","listname"],stdout=subprocess.PIPE) lines=p.stdout.readlines() p.wait return(lines)I guess the script must run as user "mailman" or "root" Which error messag exactly?
Hi Talf,Thanks for the reply. Here is the python traceback.Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/mailman/bin/list_members", line 286, in <module> main() File "/usr/lib/mailman/bin/list_members", line 230, in main mlist = MailList.MailList(listname, lock=False) File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 130, in __init__ self.Load() File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 655, in Load dict, e = self.__load(file) File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 620, in __load fp = open(dbfile) IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/mailman/lists/cufsalumni/config.pck' I didn't think about running it as mailman (really dumb). Yes it works if run as mailman. Thanks again.
