| Hey, do you have a news client written in python?  That's so cool.  Is
| it publically available?

Yes, http://www.bebits.com/app/1564

It's not much, though.  I started with a couple of functions from
Koert Zeilstra's tknf, plus vi as the viewer & editor.  It's now
a sample application in my BeOS modules.  It's utterly dependent
on BeOS, not portable at all, and it still uses vi for an editor.
