Well, right now I am actually trying out slrn -- a bit of a dejavu experience since I used slrn a bit in the early 1990s (and I have not used vi in many, many years). I have tried out other programs such as traditional email clients and mainstream gui programs such as Pan but find that user interface paradigm does not work well for usenet news and me. /Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I have found 'gmane.comp.python.devel', which looks great for lurking, along with many other entries under gmane.comp.python.*. But I couldn't find *this* list (comp.lang.python) for ages, despite scrutinising possible aliases. For anyone else in the same boat, you are looking for gmane.comp.python.general.
