Hi Jessy, You're doing everything right, but there's one conceptual step that you're missing, and which isn't evident from the docs.
As Mark says, `mailman shell` is the best way to get a Python interactive interpreter shell to play with the internal Mailman API. Why is this better than just running the virtualenv's `python` interpreter directly? It's because there are a bunch of subsystems that have to be initialized before things will work correctly. E.g., the Zope component architecture (ZCA), the logging subsystem, the configuration subsystem, queues, rules, pipelines, etc. The exception you're getting is because the ZCA hasn't been initialized yet. `mailman shell` ensures that everything is initialized, then it gives you an interpreter prompt. Hope that helps. -Barry _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
