Alternatively, you could do something with the mailing list archive: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/ The .gz files are gzipped mbox format so can be dropped into, eg, Thunderbird for offline browsing, or searched with the email package from the stdlib.

How to search this newsgroup by a python script.
Hi, I haven't found anything with Google's group search, so let me ask it (again?). How can I search this newsgroup from within a Python script. (Perhaps by searching Google Groups or Gmane by some Python code.) Many thanks for a hint, Helmut. -- Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
