Newsgroups and Mailing Lists<br />

An important forum for <strong>Python</strong> discussion is the Usenet group comp.lang.python. If you’re<br />

serious about <strong>Python</strong>, I recommend that you at least skim this group regularly. Its companion<br />

group, comp.lang.python.announce, contains announcements about new <strong>Python</strong> software<br />

(including new <strong>Python</strong> distributions, <strong>Python</strong> extensions, and software written using <strong>Python</strong>).<br />

Several official mailing lists are available. For instance, the comp.lang.python group is<br />

mirrored in the python-list@python.org mailing list. If you have a <strong>Python</strong> problem and need<br />

help, simply send an e-mail <strong>to</strong> help@python.org (assuming that you’ve exhausted all other<br />

options, of course). For learning about programming in <strong>Python</strong>, the tu<strong>to</strong>r list (tu<strong>to</strong>r@python.org)<br />

may be useful. For information about how <strong>to</strong> join these (and other) mailing lists, see http://<br />

mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo.
