Announcements of Python-related software, tools, libraries, books, and events are acceptable if they are relevant and not excessive. Questions from beginners are welcome, as are advanced technical discussions. Comparisons with other programming languages are acceptable when they are relevant to understanding Python or solving a programming problem. Off-topic material includes general operating system support, unrelated hardware issues, political discussion, personal attacks, spam, flooding, and posts unrelated to Python. The purpose of comp.lang.python is to provide a general forum for useful, technical, and practical discussion of Python for programmers of all skill levels.
