[Python-Dev] Accessing mailing list archives

[Bob Purvy]

hi all,

I've been trying to figure out how to access the archives programmatically.
I'm sure this is easy once you know, but googling various things hasn't
worked.  What I want to do is graph the number of messages about PEP 572 by
time.  (or has someone already done that?)

I installed GNU Mailman, and downloaded the gzip'ed archives for a number
of months and unzipped them, and I suspect that there's some way to get
them all into a single database, but it hasn't jumped out at me.  If I
count the "Message-ID" lines, the "Subject:" lines, and the "\nFrom " lines
in one of those text files, I get slightly different numbers for each.

Alternatively, they're maybe *already* in a database, and I just need API
access to do the querying?  Can someone help me out?

Bob
