[Python-Dev] Googlebot and the mail.python.org python-dev archive

[Nick Coghlan]

Is anyone else having trouble getting the python.org mail archive to
turn up in Google searches for python-dev messages?

I prefer to use that archive rather than one of the multitude of 3rd
party archives when linking posts from PEPs and tracker issues, but for
the last few weeks I've had to go find the messages directly on the
archive pages rather than being able to grab them from a search.

Example search (note that the top python.org hits are from 2006, but a
3rd party archive has the discussion I was after at the top of the list):
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=inurl%3Apython-dev+contextlib.nested&btnG=Search

Searching the python.org archive specifically shows that the relevant
recent messages aren't in the search index at all:
http://www.google.com/search?q=inurl:pipermail+inurl:python-dev+contextlib.nested&hl=en&filter=0

Cheers,
Nick.
