# 2004-08-27 Jim Tittsler <jwt@starship.python.net>
# 2004-10-03 jwt change authentication
# 2004-10-04 jwt remove dependency on ClientCookie
# 2004-10-07 jwt use getopt to retrieve host, list, password from command
# 2004-10-10 jwt return to using ClientCookie
# 2004-10-13 jwt add --fullnames option
# 2005-02-15 jwt switch on RFC2965 cookie support when newer version
# of ClientCookie is detected
# 2005-02-16 jwt use Python 2.4's cookielib if it is available
# 2005-02-27 jwt only visit the roster page for letters that exist
# 2005-06-04 mas add --nomail option (Mark Sapiro <msapiro.value.net>)
# 2005-06-14 jwt handle chunks of email addresses starting [0-9]*
# 2006-01-27 mas Retry urllib2.URLError exceptions in main loop.
# Modify parser to get most of the member attributes on the
# page (I don't get nomail reason because I haven't yet
# figured out how, and I don't get the language option).
# This provides a foundation for adding options to deal
# with any of these attributes.
# 2006-01-28 mas Add --regular and --digest options.
# 2006-01-29 mas Get the nomail reason (I figured out how)
# Add the --csv option intended to produce a file that can
# be imported into a local spreadsheet. Mostly useful for
# larger lists when multiple sublists are desired and where
# multiple passes are expensive.
# 2006-04-10 mas Add some error checking for invalid URL (hostname),
# listname and password.
# 2006-04-11 mas Correct test on find(). Success is '>= 0', not 'True'.
# 2006-08-24 mas Catch more exceptions on invalid URLs.
# Add some more explaination of hostname and when
# member_url might need changing.
# 2006-09-20 Ed Lally <elally@jersey.net>
# 2006-09-20 ejl Add config variable for admin path (/mailman/admin/) for
# sites that don't use default URLs.
# 2006-09-21 mas Make Ed's change a command line option.
# 2007-05-07 mas Acommodate possible urllib.quote()ed email addresses.
# 2008-02-03 mas Clarify that script works with Membership list through
# 2.1.10.
# Fix broken --url_path option.
# 2008-10-06 mas Works with 2.1.11.
# Handle chunks starting with other than [0-9A-Z].
# Print verbose output to stderr.
# 2008-10-07 mas Added -U/--unhide option
# 2008-10-09 mas Forgot to make the unhide '.' prints conditional on
# verbose. Also, csv printed "on" for members changed to
# unhidden. Fixed.

"""List the email addresses subscribed to a mailing list, fetched from web.
Usage: %(PROGRAM)s [options] hostname listname password
Where:
--output file
-o file
Write output to specified file instead of standard out.
--regular
-r
List only the regular (non-digest) members.
--digest {any|mime|plain}
-d {any|mime|plain}
List only the digest members. One of 'any', 'mime' or 'plain'
is required.
'any' lists all the digest members.
'mime' lists only the mime digest members.
'plain' lists only the plain digest members.
--fullnames
-f
Include the full names in the output.
--nomail
-n
List only no-mail members
--csv
-c
This option overrides the above four selection options and lists
all members, one per line, with comma separated, quoted values as
follows:
"full name" if available, else "","email address","mod",
"hide","nomail" ("off" or "[A]" or "[B]" or "[U]" or "[?]"),
"ack","not metoo","nodupes","digest","plain"
analogous to the admin membership list (the values of the 'checkbox'
fields are either "off" or "on"). A title line with the above names
is listed before the member lines.
--url_path path
-u path
If the list admin pages are accessed at your site via a URL of form
different from https://hostname/mailman/admin/listname, you need to
specify the path portion of the URL preceeding the listname with
this option. For example, a URL such as
https://hostname/admin.cgi/listname requires the option
--url_path /admin.cgi
default value is /mailman/admin.
--unhide
-U
Set the 'hidden' flag off for all list members including those not
selected for output. This will take a long time if there are a lot
of hidden members. The -v option prints '.' after every 100 unhides.
--verbose
-v
Include extra progress output.
--help
-h
Print this help message and exit
hostname is the name used in the URL of the list's web interface
listname is the name of the mailing list
password is the list's admin password
The list of subscribers is fetched from the web administrative
interface. Using the bin/list_members program from a shell
account is preferable, but not always available.
Tested with the Mailman 2.1.5 - 2.1.13 Membership list layout.
If Python 2.4's cookielib is available, use it. Otherwise require
ClientCookie http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/ClientCookie/
This script runs on your workstation and requires that you have Python
<http://www.python.org> installed. It works best with Python 2.4.x
through Python 2.6.x. It is not tested with Python 3.x.x.
