In usenet parlance, news.gmane.org is a newsserver, and gmane.comp.python.general is a newsgroup. gmane runs a series of mail<->news gateways for several mailing lists, but there are others as well: someone also bridges the list to the group comp.lang.python, which is where I'm reading this. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
