Re: [Mailman-Developers] unremovable/broken member addresses

[Andrew D. Clark]

Nope, same traceback.  Seems like maybe remove_members is doing some 
string scrubbing that it perhaps should not.  I should have stated I've 
tried nearly all permutations of shell single/double quoting and 
escaping I can think of (but please don't let that stop anyone from 
suggesting one of which I might not have thought).  But I'd much rather 
do some quoting and escaping than go Python code diving.

How about using single quotes (in Bbash)?:
 %./remove_members -n -N some-list '[EMAIL PROTECTED] * ben'
I think that should pass the whole thing as one element of
remove_members' argv. This would only work if the missing space was
what "caused the problem".
What's the policy on reporting errors back to the user? Should
exceptions like this cause termination or should they usually be
caught by the caller etc.. ?
