Frankly, your claim to has "searched through the net" is not believable,
unless you are not using a search engine such as google, in which case
go to google.com (assuming you know how to do that) and type in something
like

    sorting site:python.org

and press enter. The "site:python.org" will limit the search to
what is available on the python.org site, which has a high concentration
of Python-relevant information.

Perhaps this will help someone avoid a seemingly helpless or lazy post like yours.

BTW, a request to "mail me as early as possible" is more likely
to get favorable consideration if you explain why you can't
monitor the newsgroup postings for a reply.
