First of all, thank God it's a newsgroup, not a list.

I've always thought of this as a list that is mirrored to a newsgroup,
not a newsgroup that is mirrored to a list. What is the true nature of
python-list (and others such as python-ideas)? What is it primarily,
what was it first, etc?
It's both: they're mirrored to each other and I consider both to be
first class citizens. In strict chronology I believe comp.lang.python
existed first, but python-list has been around for long enough that the
distinction now is really quite academic.
I would not be surprised to find that a fair majority of people told off
on this list for abusing newsgroup etiquette in one way or another not
only have no idea that this is (also) a newsgroup but don't even know
what a newsgroup *is*.
They may also not know that it's a mailing list, nor what that is,
because they're coming via Google Groups -- which uses the Usenet
gateway -- or through gmane -- which comes in through the mailing list
-- or some other web mirror.
