It won't, but the tutor list is also for experienced programmers new
to Python, so it might help there.

Although I do grant it's a tad more exotic (I nearly said erotic!)
than our usual fare. And I'd probably expect to see it on the
main Python list. But IMO it is within the group's remit - just!

But there is the equally valid counterpoint that overly exotic 
discussion here can turn away the real newbies who are our bread
and butter audience.
