Question about NNTPLib

[Anthony Papillion]

I'm new to NNTPLib (and Python) and I'm experiencing some behavior I
can't understand. I'm writing a program to analyze newsgroup subject
which will then produce statistics on topics discussed. For my
example, I'm using this group (comp.lang.python) and trying to simply
print out all of the subjects listed in the group.

This is the code I'm using:

resp, count, first, last, name = server.group('comp.lang.python')
    resp, items = server.xover(first, last)

    for subject in items:
        resp, subject = server.xhdr('subject', first, last)
        print subject

While the loop will indeed LOOP through all of the items, the print
statement generates unprintable character (they look like [] in the
terminal window.

What am I doing wrong? I've looked at the doc and it looks like this
is how I'd call it. Am I missing something?

Thanks!
Anthony
