Have you tried news.gmane.org? They have a Mail2News gateway for many popular mailing lists, as well as some of the traditional usenet hierarchy - including this group. Here is a link to their page for this group, to give you an idea of what kind of reading options they provide. http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.general Or you can point your usenet reader @ news.gmane.org and subscribe 'normally'.
