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,

'/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.
