Description: Why?
        ====
        
        mailchimp__ does not allow to import so called role addresses via the webinterface.
        
        .. __: http://mailchimp.com
        
        so ``info@``, ``support@``, ``office@`` and the like can't be imported but need to be inserted manually.
        (see `What role addresses does MailChimp block`__)
        
        .. __: http://kb.mailchimp.com/article/what-role-addresses-does-mailchimp-specifically-block-from-bulk-importing/
        
        
        HOW?
        ====
        
        this script allows to import subscriptions even though some or all emails are role addresses
        using the mailchimp API `MCAPI`__.
        
        .. __: http://apidocs.mailchimp.com/api/1.2/
        
        type ``chimpimport --help`` for usage information::
        
            chimpimport imports datasets given in csv file FILENAME into mailchimp's subscriber list.
        
            first row contains headers, EMAIL (note capital letters) column is required
        
            example csv content:
            "Some Value";"EMAIL";"Some other value";
            "ACME Corp.";"john@acme.com";"Sales representative";
        
        
        
            Options:
              -h, --help            show this help message and exit
              -k APIKEY, --apikey=APIKEY
                                    your mailchimp api key. obtain one with ``wget 'https:/
                                    /api.mailchimp.com/1.1/?output=json&method=login&passw
                                    ord=xxxxxx&username=yyyyyyyy' -O apikey``
