Nick:<br><br>Thanks, man, for even replying. I'm ashamed for posting such a stupid question, and of course, you're right, as I should have known. I'm used to answering people's silly questions about c, and am an utter newb in python; I'm trying to learn Scheme at the same time, so it's kind of hectic around here. My question is a newbie question, though, and I may as well face it. I appreciate the polite tone of your reply. If I can ever do anything to help, I'll remember your example.<br>

I'm afraid the auto-response to the python-3000 list is a little<br>
misleading. That list was for the initial development of python 3.0, and<br>
hence the redirect was to this list which is to discuss the<br>
*development* of the Python interpreter (both 2.x and 3.x).<br>
<br>
For more general questions (such as installation), the appropriate place<br>
to ask is <a href="mailto:python-list@python.org">python-list@python.org</a> (also available as the newsgroup<br>
comp.lang.python).<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Nick.<br>

<br>
The mailman powers-that-be may want to update the python-3000<br>
auto-response to direct people to python-list for normal questions and<br>
python-dev for development specific questions.<br>
