afaik, all major newsgroup/mailing list archives can deal
with text attachments.  smaller code snippets are ok, in
other words.

another option is to upload stuff to ftp.python.org;
see ftp://ftp.python.org/incoming-instructions

    The 'incoming' directory is available for upload submissions.  Stuff
    you leave there is not externally accessible until someone at
    python.org moves it the publically-readable parts of the hierarchy.

    To have that happen, put your stuff in /incoming under a distinctive
    name.  Include a brief "<stuff>.README" file, identifying the stuff
    *and including a contact address for it*.  Then send email to:

            ftpmaster at python.org

    notifying us of the deposit.  Tell us who you are, what the stuff is for,
    and the names of the pieces you put here.  (When contributing patches to the
    python distribution, see also 'incoming-patches-instructions' in the
    top-level ftp dir.)  Make sure that your return address is valid, so we can
    contact you if necessary!

    Questions or suggestions?  Email 'ftpmaster at python.org'...
