A minor clarification for this, Port 9001 is only used in our testing since we don’t want to start a test server on 8001, which is the default port and also the port using for dev. Although, this does make me think that we should consider making a chage to our docs to suite more as docs and less as just tests. It would interfere with a dev server running when you run tests, which isn’t ideal though. We have pages that have documented this kind of behavior about 9001/8001 I think, but I am sure this has to be told at least once to folks new to Mailman documentation. I wonder if we can do something about it? At some point though, I want to get rid of call_api() towards `requests.get()` or simple urllib3.urlopen() methods as it will be a lot easier for folks to understand and run for folks and maybe equally testable. -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)
