How to run this script (attached) in the mailman shell (or withlist)?
https://dpaste.com/39ZMH3M7S (Text below)
The code works perfectly when pasted into the live shell of mailman. But not when I start "(venv) mailman withlist -r set_member_pref".
... module = import_module(module_path) File "/usr/lib/python3.9/importlib/__init__.py", line 127, in import_module return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level) File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1030, in _gcd_import File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1007, in _find_and_load File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 984, in _find_and_load_unlocked ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'set_members_prefs'
What is wrong? Please can anyone help? Please can you add information in the documentation how exactly to run a script like that?

Okay, the mileage was long. It now works finally. Thank you for your patience.
How to place the script somewhere else ( outside /opt/mailman/venv/bin ), is this possible to have it in /home/maillistgen for example?

It can be anywhere, but it has to be importable by Python which means it
needs to be in a directory somewhere in sys.path. You could put it in
/home/maillistgen if you export PYTHONPATH='/home/maillistgen' before
running mailman shell The PYTHONPATH environment variable will add
that directory to sys.path for subsequent python invocations.

However, it looks as if mailman in its (venv) is stubborn against PYTHONPATH=/outside/opt-mailman-home
Look:
I managed to have my set_member_prefs.py in /opt/mailman (home dir of mailman) or below, for example in /opt/mailman/venv/lib , but mailman does not find it when I use a different location outside mm home (and yes, I set the ownership for it to mailman):
sudo su mailman (venv) /opt/mailman> PYTHONPATH=/home/maillistgen mailman withlist -r set_member_prefs ← does not work 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 mailman mailman 833 5. Aug 22:19 /home/maillistgen/set_member_prefs.py (i.e. present)
(venv) /opt/mailman> PYTHONPATH=/opt/mailman mailman withlist -r set_member_prefs ← works 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 mailman mailman 811 6. Aug 00:34 /opt/mailman/set_member_prefs.py (i.e. present)
Can you say something to my observation? Am I correct or wrong?

It works for me:
mark@msapiro:~$ ls -l zzz
total 4
-rw-rw-r-- 1 mark mark 35 Aug 5 19:23 xxx.py
mark@msapiro:~$ cat zzz/xxx.py
def demo():
print('I am demo')
mark@msapiro:~$ . /opt/mailman/mm/venv/bin/activate
(venv) mark@msapiro:~$ PYTHONPATH=/home/mark mailman shell -r zzz.xxx.demo
I am demo
