Currently running Mailman 3.3.10 and I followed the instructions from
https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html# to install.
This is the output from mine, I get the same output as you do when I try
exactly what you do;
mailman shell -l [email protected]
Welcome to the GNU Mailman shell
Use commit() to commit changes.
Use abort() to discard changes since the last commit.
Exit with ctrl+D does an implicit commit() but exit() does not.
The variable 'm' is the [email protected] mailing list
>>> m.settings
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'MailingList' object has no attribute 'settings'
I get something else when I do it differently - how I've been doing it so far -.
mailman shell
Welcome to the GNU Mailman shell
Use commit() to commit changes.
Use abort() to discard changes since the last commit.
Exit with ctrl+D does an implicit commit() but exit() does not.

Yes, I see now that it's not the preferred way to do it.
It's difficult to know that when looking at the documentation.

Yes, but like I've mentioned in another thread, I don't have access to the web
UI because
I can't get a confirmation link.
