"[]" is the way python prints an empty list.
I don't know NNTPLib, but I'm guessing you don't want to be throwing
away the subject variable, so you either want
for subject in items:
print subject
or
for subject in items:
resp, sub = server.xhdr("subject", first, last)
print sub
- the second will do the same as your current code, I don't know how
NNTPLib returns the subject or what the list it's returning represents.
