For programming questions with testable answers, generally yes.  But I 
sometimes advise SO questioners to redirect questions here when more 
appropriate.

Advantages include that questions and answers can be searched within a 
tag, can be commented separately,  and can be edited.  The latter is 
important.  Web forums that imitate mail lists with indelible sequential 
postings are not much better.

Not the first, nor the second officially.  But many Python Community 
members already answer python-tagged questions.  I specifically monitor 
python-idle questions.  The PSF could set up a imitation site, or 
perhaps sponsor 'Python Pitstop' on stackexchange, but why bother?
