Chris, you might want to try another list:

https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor


The folks on this list are friendly, but tough. They are not generally 
arrogant, but many of them are experts (or core python developers) and 
most of them are worth listening to. The list mentioned above is for 
folks who are learning python and who have basic questions or want basic 
clarifications.   (they are gentler too)    :)
