Confusing list& Test

[Terry Reedy]

Yes, you have made it to the real python news/mail group.

comp.lang.python is a newsgroup
python-list at python.org is a mailing list
python.org has a gateway that connects the two together: messages sent
to one are automatically sent to the other.  (Except, perhaps, for
obvious spam and other junk.) This lets people with access to both
choose the interface they prefer and those with access to just one get
that one.

Yes, cwi.nl was a previous host, years ago

I believe anything connected with yahoogroups is unofficial with
respect to python.org and the python developers.  Anyone can set up a
yahoo group on any topic and become the owner.  If a change is needed,
please contact the group owner.  You should be able to do this thru
the yahoo web interface.
