does it matter?  you're supposed to click on the link if
you find something that might interest you, not decipher
the link itself.

(due to the intricate design of usenet, some messages don't
make it through to the deja.com archive.  in other cases, the
link collector stumbles upon something in a different context,
and doesn't bother to look for it in deja.com)

afaik, that link is obsolete.  if you want to submit something
to the URL, post something interesting to comp.lang.python
(or mail it to python-list at python.org), and hope that the link
gathering bot picks it up.  the bot reserves the right to (yada
yada).

(besides, egroups is python powered.  even python zealots can
use it and still sleep well at night)

cameron edits the weekly edition.  another member of the URL
team collects the links.  at the moment, Dr. Dobbs Python-URL!
is based on the daily URL: http://hem.passagen.se/eff/url.htm
which is a free service from the eff-bot (saving everyone $9.52
per week ;-).
