OK - I have not seen an email from Peter.
So I looked up the thread online, and see I did not receive half the emails on 
this thread :O

My first inclination was to blame my mac mavericks mail gmail syncing problem.  
but logging into gmail, I see no record of the emails there either.

I currently receive the tutor emails in the digest mode - thought I was paying 
attention to all the digests - but I seems to have missed many.

I apologize to all those who offered input whose emails I missed - I certainly 
wasn’t ignoring them.

and as a follow up - is there a way to download a thread from the tutor archive?
I am guessing the answers are one of
1) write a python script to grab the emails associated with the threads from 
the web
2) download the whole gzip’d text and use python to grab only the parts I want

but 1) I haven’t done that before and unfortunately don’t have time to learn now
2) some combination of being too busy and lazy prevents me from this option…

Your local email client, if any, may do 90% of the job for you if you set:
* normal, non-digest mode
* threaded view locally
then just press 'del' on every other thread.

As a side-note, since you are now subscribed to the python-tutor list, by not pressing 'del' (too quiclkly), you may learn much about python and programming in general, in a both nice and efficient manner.
