I tried your example and got the EOFError, too.
>>> import nntplib
>>> s = nntplib.NNTP("nntp.aioe.org")
>>> s.group("comp.lang.python")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/nntplib.py", line 345, in group
resp = self.shortcmd('GROUP ' + name)
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/nntplib.py", line 259, in shortcmd
return self.getresp()
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/nntplib.py", line 214, in getresp
resp = self.getline()
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/nntplib.py", line 206, in getline
if not line: raise EOFError
EOFError
>>> s = nntplib.NNTP("nntp.aioe.org", readermode=True)
>>> s.group("comp.lang.python")
('211 2445 50405 52863 comp.lang.python', '2445', '50405', '52863',
'comp.lang.python')
nntplib.NNTP(host, readermode=True) seems to fix the problem (if it wasn't
sheer luck).
