Just an FYI out to folks that want a better way to search the Python archive.
I've been using MarkMail (www.markmail.org <http://www.markmail.org/> ) to search the archives and it works MUCH better than the Google archive. It is a free hosting of all sorts of GNU/open source mailing lists (registration NOT required or even available).
