There are at leasty 3 archives, two of which are searchable.

The official archive on the Pyhon.org web site (not searchable)

The Activestate archive (searchable)

The Gmane.org news feed archive (searchable)

The latter allows you to receive group email as if it were
a newsgroup rather than email which some (including me!)
find more convenient. (There is also a web interface if you
need it)
