A gentle reminder there are three mailing lists with their respective
agendas as follows :

bangpypers : <EMPHASIZE>This group is for discussions related to the
Python programming language</EMPHASIZE>. We welcome all kinds of
discussions related to Python.
inpycon: This mailing list is for discussions regarding organizing
Pycon India. Anyone who is interested to take an active role in
<EMPHASIZE>discussing and/or organizing PyCon India </EMPHASIZE> is
welcome to join the list.
ipss: Discussions related to the Indian Python Software Society.
I believe there is another pyladies group which discusses associated
appropriate issues.

I am subscribed to this mailing list because I am interested in the
python programming language. Can someone please change the documented
objective of this mailing list to appropriately reflect the reality if
I my perception is stale or out of date.
