There are many Python mailing lists and usenet newsgroups.
They are all available to browse on gmane. (just short of 200
of them by my estimate)

http://dir.gmane.org/index.php?prefix=gmane.comp.python

Usually you will be best served by picking the most specific newsgroup
for your topic and asking there. Take a look at the archive list to
get an idea of how busy and current they are, also what the average
turn-around time is for replies.

You can subscribe to most of them as mailing lists or use a
newsreader (eg Outlook Express or Thunderbird  or GNUs etc)
to access the gmane nntp feed

HTH,
