There are times when I want to set an attribute on a whole bunch of mailing lists en
masse. I tried to write a withlist script to do this, but it only works when the
attribute value is a string. It doesn't work if the value is an integer. I'm no Python
expert, but I thought from reading the docs that eval(`value`) would result in an
expression of the correct type. No such luck.
To keep things simple, the script does only one list at a time, and I run it from a
shell "for" loop.
def set_attr(mlist, attr, value):
setattr(mlist, attr, eval(`value`))
mlist.Save()
What am I missing?
Thanks,
- Bob
