===================
Mailman REST Client
===================
>>> from pprint import pprint
# The test framework starts out with an example domain, so let's delete
# that first.
>>> from mailman.interfaces.domain import IDomainManager
>>> from zope.component import getUtility
>>> domain_manager = getUtility(IDomainManager)
>>> domain_manager.remove('example.com')
<Domain example.com...>
>>> transaction.commit()
First let's get an instance of MailmanRESTClient.
>>> from mailmanclient.rest import MailmanRESTClient, MailmanRESTClientError
>>> client = MailmanRESTClient('localhost:8001')
So far there are no lists.
>>> client.get_lists()
[]
Domains
=======
In order to add new lists first a new domain has to be added.
>>> new_domain = client.create_domain('example.com')
>>> pprint(new_domain.info)
{u'base_url': u'http://example.com',
u'contact_address': u'postmaster@example.com',
u'description': None,
u'email_host': u'example.com',
u'http_etag': u'"6b1ccf042e8f76138a0bd37e8509f364da92a5c5"',
u'self_link': u'http://localhost:8001/3.0/domains/example.com',
u'url_host': u'example.com'}
Later the domain object can be instantiated using get_domain()
>>> my_domain = client.get_domain('example.com')
Mailing lists
=============
Now let's add a mailing list called 'test-one'.
>>> new_list = my_domain.create_list('test-one')
Let's add another list and get some information on the list.
>>> another_list = my_domain.create_list('test-two')
>>> pprint(another_list.info)
{'advertised': True,
...
'welcome_msg': 'Welcome message lorem ipsum dolor sit'}
Later the new list can be instantiated using get_list():
>>> some_list = client.get_list('test-one@example.com')
The lists have been added and get_lists() returns a list of dicts, sorted
by fqdn_listname.
>>> pprint(client.get_lists())
[{u'fqdn_listname': u'test-one@example.com',
u'host_name': u'example.com',
u'http_etag': u'"5e99519ef1b823a52254b77e89bec54fbd17bef0"',
u'list_name': u'test-one',
u'real_name': u'Test-one',
u'self_link': u'http://localhost:8001/3.0/lists/test-one@example.com'},
{u'fqdn_listname': u'test-two@example.com',
u'host_name': u'example.com',
u'http_etag': u'"a05542c9faa07cbe2b8fdf8a1655a2361ab365f2"',
u'list_name': u'test-two',
u'real_name': u'Test-two',
u'self_link': u'http://localhost:8001/3.0/lists/test-two@example.com'}]
Membership
==========
Since we now have a list we should add some members to it (.subscribe()
returns an HTTP status code, ideally 201)
>>> new_list.subscribe('jack@example.com', 'Jack')
201
>>> new_list.subscribe('meg@example.com', 'Meg')
201
>>> another_list.subscribe('jack@example.com', 'Jack')
201
We can get a list of all members:
>>> pprint(client.get_members())
[{u'http_etag': u'"320f9e380322cafbbf531c11eab1ec9d38b3bb99"',
u'self_link': u'http://localhost:8001/3.0/lists/test-one@example.com/member/jack@example.com'},
{u'http_etag': u'"cd75b7e93216a022573534d948511edfbfea06cd"',
u'self_link': u'http://localhost:8001/3.0/lists/test-one@example.com/member/meg@example.com'},
{u'http_etag': u'"13399f5ebbab8c474926a7ad0ccfda28d717e398"',
u'self_link': u'http://localhost:8001/3.0/lists/test-two@example.com/member/jack@example.com'}]
Or just the members of a specific list:
>>> pprint(new_list.get_members())
[{u'http_etag': u'"320f9e380322cafbbf531c11eab1ec9d38b3bb99"',
u'self_link': u'http://localhost:8001/3.0/lists/test-one@example.com/member/jack@example.com'},
{u'http_etag': u'"cd75b7e93216a022573534d948511edfbfea06cd"',
u'self_link': u'http://localhost:8001/3.0/lists/test-one@example.com/member/meg@example.com'}]
After a while Meg decides to unsubscribe from the mailing list (like
.subscribe() .unsubscribe() returns an HTTP status code, ideally 200).
>>> new_list.unsubscribe('meg@example.com')
200
Users
=====
Users and their settings can be accessed by using one of their email
addresses.
>>> jack = client.get_user('jack@example.com')
>>> print jack
A user object for the user 'Jack'.
>>> pprint(jack.info)
{u'real_name': u'Jack'}
To update the User settings, change the info attribute and call update().
>>> jack.info['real_name'] = 'Jack, Brother of Meg'
>>> jack.update()
204
You can get a list of all lists a user has subscribed and/or is an owner
or moderator of by using .get_lists().
>>> pprint(jack.get_lists())
[{u'email_address': u'jack@example.com',
u'fqdn_listname': u'test-one@example.com',
u'real_name': u'Test-one'},
{u'email_address': u'jack@example.com',
u'fqdn_listname': u'test-two@example.com',
u'real_name': u'Test-two'}]
To see which email addresses jack has used to subscribe to the lists on
that domain, use get_email_addresses().
>>> pprint(jack.get_email_addresses())
[u'jack@example.com']
Membership
==========
To know more about the membership details of Jack's subscription, you
need an instance of a member. There are two ways to get a member object:
Either get it from the client object...
>>> member = client.get_member('jack@example.com', 'test-one@example.com')
...or from a list object, providing only an email address as a parameter:
>>> member = new_list.get_member('jack@example.com')
>>> print member
A member object for 'jack@example.com', subscribed to 'test-one@example.com'.
>>> member_info = member.info
>>> pprint(member_info)
{'_original': 'Original lorem ipsum dolor sit',
'acknowledge_posts': True,
'address': 'Address lorem ipsum dolor sit',
'address_id': 9,
'delivery_mode': 'Delivery mode lorem ipsum dolor sit',
'delivery_status': 'Delivery status lorem ipsum dolor sit',
'hide_address': True,
'id': 9,
'is_moderated': True,
'mailing_list': 'Mailing list lorem ipsum dolor sit',
'password': 'Password lorem ipsum dolor sit',
'preferences_id': 9,
'preferred_language': 'Preferred language lorem ipsum dolor sit',
'real_name': 'Real name lorem ipsum dolor sit',
'receive_list_copy': True,
'receive_own_postings': True,
'registered_on': '2000-01-01 00:00:00',
'role': 'Role lorem ipsum dolor sit',
'user_id': 9,
'verified_on': '2000-01-01 00:00:00'}
To change any of the membership settings just set the relevant values and use update_member().
>>> member.info['password'] = 'someencryptednewpasswordstring'
>>> member.update()
204
