You probably want the SPE mailing-list (if it exists), or whatever the project page offers as a mean of sending feedback to the author. Python-related questions, even elementary ones (provided you at least took time to read the official tutorial), are of course welcome !-) HTH -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
