This isn't usually what happens on this list. Most people on this list (myself included) are ignoring or at least not contributing to these particular threads. > > Can anyone tell me, is there another newsgroup where the discussion is more on python programming? For a beginner I would certainly recommend the python-tutor list. I've never seen a flame war there. Threads tend to stay on-topic and are usually helpful to the OP. The tutor list is for generic python problems but you can usually get help for simple scientific programming problems. https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor Oscar
