Looking back in the archive: https://mail.python.org/archives/list/edu-sig@python.org/message/WE5WEZIMTZ7... The rendering I get turns the double-star of Python exponentiation into some kind of boldfacing, like we're in a wiki or using markdown or something. The attachment shows the original content, but requires a download to see. Is there a button-click way to redisplay / re-render a post in original format? Nor is my Python source code showing up with indenting. Do I need to format in some new wiki way? What default settings do we have, to restore Python-friendliness, I wonder.

Testing:
2**200 # (that's 2 to the 200th power in Python).
The mailman 3 archive is rendering Python code rather poorly right? I archive more of my experience in this recent Youtube: https://youtu.be/rpAE_ogXKcE (recaps some recent threads, takes up the display of Python code through the archive) Kirby On Tue, Feb 4, 2020 at 12:50 PM kirby urner <kirby.urner@gmail.com> wrote:

The double star came out OK but the chevron is interpreted with color containers 3-levels deep. So beware using the Python chevron then. We didn't use to have these problems right? Another test: 2**200 # no chevron this time. Fixed width: M1 = 2**2-1 = 3 M2 = 2**3-1 = 7 M3 = 2**5-1 = 31 M4 = 2**7-1 = 127 M5 = 2**13-1 = 8191 M6 = 2**17-1 = 131071 M7 = 2**19-1 = 524287 M8 = 2**31-1 = 2147483647 Do I lose the double star? The Mersenne Primes cut and paste from Spyder was somewhat of a disaster. https://flic.kr/p/2iq6NWH (exhibit) None of the double stars (exponentiation) rendered. Check attachment/original. We've lost indentation in Python code. At the Math Forum we could hit a button to see a more plaintext version of any post, with indentation preserved. Perhaps something like that (made default view for a Python list?) would address these issues? What is the experience of other Python listservs I wonder, regarding this upgrade to mailman 3? Any feedback welcome. Kirby Urner one of the listowners
Hmmm... so I'd assume that maybe mailman3 is rendering RST? If it is, then the following should be formatted as code:: >>> 2 ** 200 1606938044258990275541962092341162602522202993782792835301376 >>> On the other hand, maybe it's markdown? Then this should be a code block: ``` >>> 2 ** 200 1606938044258990275541962092341162602522202993782792835301376 >>> ``` Love an experiment... (and apologies everyone for the formatting test) Cheers, Naomi On Thu, 6 Feb 2020 at 20:18, kirby urner <kirby.urner@gmail.com> wrote:
