I'm trying to create a list (on Ubuntu) and I'm getting this:
owners = ['xxxx@ddddddddd.net'] from mailman.app.lifecycle import create_list ant = create_list('llllllllllllll@dddddddd.net', owners) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/mailman/app/lifecycle.py", line 74, in create _list getUtility(IEmailValidator).validate(fqdn_listname) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/zope/component/_api.py", line 180, in getUtil ity raise ComponentLookupError(interface, name) zope.interface.interfaces.ComponentLookupError: (<InterfaceClass mailman.interfaces.address.IEmailVa

I'm not sure why this doesn't work, but it probably will if you do it in
mailman shell which defines a lot of things for you.
However, it is much simpler to just use the mailman create command to
create a list. See mailman create --help

I didn't see that in the documentation. Anyway, that seems to have worked and I was able to import the list. However, I cannot import the archives. The documentation says to use mailman manage.py but does not say where it is. My search turned up 2, so which do I use?
./venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/falcon/bench/dj/manage.py ./venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/mailman_web/manage.py

See the note at the bottom of the first section of the docs at https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/index.html.
With your venv active the command you want is mailman-web.

I don't think I understand. Are you saying the import (and the other commands) should be this:
python mailman-web hyperkitty_import -l foo-list@example.com $var_prefix/archives/private/foo-list.mbox/foo-list.mbox

With your venv active the command is just mailman-web
not python mailman-web

It (the name of the Django admin command) is documented in the Note in the first section of the top level doc at https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/
