Create a new news account (File-New-OtherAccount)
Enter your details, click next
Enter the gmane news server address: news.gmane.org
Give it a friendly name
Finish

Thats it.

Now on that account page

Manage newsgroup subscriptions(wait for it to populate)
Use the show items box to filter - eg type comp.python
Select the ones you want.
Click subscribe

Done

Now on each newsgroup you can click on it and it will
download the latest messages(might take a while first
time round. You might want to limit the number to
say 50-100)
