I keep hearing that I should use gmane as a superior interface. Well,
I tried that. I went to http://dir.gmane.org/search.php, where it
asks me to search for a newsgroup. I type in "comp.lang.python", and
it tells me, "No matching groups". So, that seems pretty broken to
me.
That's not entirely fair - Gmane presents mailing lists as newsgroups,
not vice versa, so it doesn't know that python-list@python.org is
connected to comp.lang.python (or that comp.lang.python even exists).
A search for the mailing list from the front page works just fine:
http://gmane.org/find.php?list=python-list%40python.org
Right. GMane is an NNTP service, but it is not part of the USENET network.
comp.lang.python is a USENET newsgroup and requires a true USENET server (not
just an NNTP server) to access.
