comp.lang.python is set up as a mirror of the mailing list. By posting to
comp.lang.python, you are mailing the python-list at python.org mailing list.

realise that you are posting to the mailing list, although I believe you
have been told this before. Repeatedly.

This newsgroup is a mirror of the mailing list, not the other way around.
