The best you can do is go to your Mailman option's page for python-dev
and select "Yes" for "Avoid duplicate copies of messages?".  The effect
of this is to have Mailman suppress sending you a list copy if your
email address is explicitly named in the recipient headers.  It's not
ideal, but it's all Mailman can do.  Getting people to trim recipients
is a hopeless battle.
