The pipermail archives go back to April 1999. Maybe that's when python-dev split off python-list? https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/

Scroll to the end to see April 1999, and it seems python-dev was fresh then: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/1999-April/095127.html

(There's one April 1995 entry, but it appears a misfiled rant from Linus Torvalds. :-)

I could swear python-dev was older than late April 1999, yet that's as far back as the MM3 archives go. As evidence, here's an email from Jack Jansen on 28 April 1999 which was a reply to an earlier message not present in the current archive:

Any pointers to older messages appreciated...
