Plain "reply" is often only "reply-to-author" for many mailers. I use 
"reply-to-all" myself, and edit the headers if that seems excessive.  
Some mailers (eg mutt) also have a "list-reply" operation, which should 
also be correct, arguably more correct.

Using the same subject is _not_ enough. Messages are connected together 
with the "In-Reply-To:" header, which is automatically set by your 
mailer's "reply" function (regardless of the flavour mentioned above).

So please just reply to the relevant list message, and make sure the 
list address (python-list at python.org) is in the resulting to/cc.
