Hi, I am following the guide here: https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/commands/docs/create.ht... and am falling at the first hurdle.

command = cli('mailman.commands.cli_lists.create') NameError: name 'cli' is not defined.

In order to run the doctest snippets, you need to import the helpers. See <https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/documentation.html#documentation-helpers>.

However, If all you want to do is create a list just run the mailman create command directly instead of trying to run the snippets in mailman shell.
