RE: new here

Matthew,

It hasn't been THAT quiet here and I have not heard suggestions this group
is going away.

I did look at the online forum and at first was annoyed as I do not want to
periodically log into various websites and prefer things to be consolidated
in my email. But, it seems you can turn on email to selectively send things
so it is also a mailing list.

I am guessing one difference may be that it is not gatewayed to old
newsgroups that periodically bring in folks who have disrupted. Another may
be the level of moderation of messages that may help keep it more civil or
even on-topic.

I do wonder if the people at python.org want multiple forums. There is also
one that sort of tutors people that obviously has an overlapping but
different audience.

Hi folks -
 
New here. I've perused some posts and haven't seen a posting FAQ for
this NG. I'm learning python right now to realize some hobby goals I
have regarding some smolnet services. What are the NG standards on
pasting code in messages? Do yall prefer I post a pastebin link if it's
over a certain number of lines? I know this isn't IRC - just asking.
 

You'll find it rather quiet here because most activity has moved to here:
