>asking. Thank you for your time. > >Is there a searchable index to the python tutor list? The various Python lists (including this one) are archived at ActiveState (as well as Python.org) and in the former case, are searchable by key word(s): http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Python/Mail Not always easy to find your topic of course, e.g. doesn't help to search on "string" :-D.
