comp.lang.python is actually a fine place to ask such questions, I submit, for reasons the original poster could not have known: clp includes quite a few deeply-experienced commentators, and the ethos of clp favors accuracy over invective far more than some other newsgroups nominally better focused on general questions. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
