=================== 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') >>> 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
