You need access to a USENET server to use USENET. Many ISP provide one
for free to their customers (mine does) - maybe yours does too. (alas,
fewer and fewer provide this)

There are also a few free servers, google a bit, maybe you'll find one
that has comp.lang.python

Though, really, why not use the mailing list?
