Thanks for the reply, unfortunately that gives an error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: cannot unpack non-iterable _Request object

Sorry, my mistake.

Try this:

$ bin/mailman shell -l list.example.com
Welcome to the GNU Mailman shell
Use commit() to commit changes.
Use abort() to discard changes since the last commit.
Exit with ctrl+D does an implicit commit() but exit() does not.
The variable 'm' is the list.example.com mailing list

 >>> requestdb = IListRequests(m)

...
 >>> commit()
