Acknowledged. I have posted a (pretty poor) support request @
http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Groups-Basics/ and suggest
others do the same for Wikipedia and other big sites that block 3.0 (I
might build a list of those later today). Maybe a wiki page, some blog
posts, etc.

Best regards,
Daniel

Hi,
As mentioned in a comp.lang.python thread[1], the new version of
Python (3.0) cannot open pages @ groups.google.com.

It seems the UA of Python 3.0 ("User-Agent: Python-urllib/3.1") is
actively blocked, while that of Python 2.5 ("User-Agent: Python-urllib/
1.17") isn't.

This message is a call for help so that we can get Python 3.0 working
with groups.google.com. Is this the right place to bring the issue to
the attention of those that can fix it? Does anyone have a contact
that could speed up getting Python 3.0 working?

Thanks in advance,
Daniel
