Suggest replace "comp.lang.python" with "python-list, mirrored as
gmane.comp.python.general". c.l.p is another mirror, but does not get
the spam filtering of p-l and g.c.p.g and is indeed the source or
transmitter (from google groups) of the spam that needs to be filtered.

"The free news site news.gmane.org mirrors (and archives) about 300
python-related mailing lists, including most or all of those at
mail.python.org. Most are listed as gmane.comp.python.*."
I would barely, if at all, mentions c.l.p: it is spammy, only mirrors 1
list rather than 300, and is not an archive in itself.
