Do we need a special account or something to use the newsgroup instead of the mailling list?
Yes, you have to find an NNTP server that carries comp.lang.python. It's possible your Internet service provider runs such a news server and will let you access it as a part of your subscription (this is the case for me). If not then you'll have to contract with a third party news service (some of htese are available for free).
Alternatively, take a look at http://www.gmane.com/, a mailing list/newsgroup interface service which I believe offers an NNTP service.
