well, one of two, along with cache invalidation and off-by-one errors 
(according to the wags).

I do agree with this, but mailman (2) archives aren't particularly 
useful for searching, as they're organized in monthly chunks and you 
have to keep clicking around - this list doesn't have a search engine as 
it's not converted to be one of the mailman 3 lists.

There are supposed to be some search engine incantations to make this 
better. I find this one works, though I can never actually remember it 
and have to go hunting again each time... picking a random-ish subject 
line from this list in the past:

site:mail.python.org inurl:Python-list multiplication

I don't know that we publicise such methods (there are probably others).
