Can someone tell me what kinds of questions should be asked in this list and what kinds in the tutor section?
There's no clear-cut distinction. The rule of thumb I usually apply is that questions about the *language* (its syntax, its usage, its idioms etc.) and about the core parts of the standard library -- the modules which come with Python -- can usefully be asked on the Tutor list by newcomers. Questions which are about 3rd-party modules (for example, numpy or requests) or which about more specialised standard library modules (such as the Windows-specific modules) are probably better asked here on python-list or on a module-specific forum for external modules. Again, though, there's no hard-and-fast rule: if you're not sure, ask on the Tutor list and we'll tell you there if you're better off asking somewhere else. It's quite a friendly environment :) TJG -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
