And FWIW the same policies are applied on the Python tutor
mailing list which is specifically for beginners, but we still
expect to see some evidence of effort from the poster. 

OTOH If you are a beginner you may find the tutor list worth
subscribing to, just post the right kind of questions and you'll
get lots of help.
