This is configurable for each subscriber. Go to the tutor web page at
http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Enter your subscription email at the bottom where it says, "To 
unsubscribe from Tutor, get a password reminder, or change your 
subscription options enter your subscription email address:"

Set "Avoid duplicate copies of messages?" to Yes.

Surely you have been reading the list long enough to know that this 
comes up every three months as a topic! It's not going to change. I'm 
not going to discuss it (and I hope no one else will either). Search the 
archives if you want to see previous discussions.
