I used to like to go to comp.lang.python via web browser for a lot of months, because it's an easy way, and if I don't like to , I can just don't go. But I can't connect there for several months, and I don't know why, even throught the google's web site. And today, I tried to connect to it, and I found the message about the web forums of comp.lang.* have stopped archived. That's the reason. And I had to go to Python.org for help. Finally I found I can still access it via subscribing the comp.lang.python maillist. It's the better that have something than have nothing.
If you want subscribe the maillist, you can check out http://www.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list. Maybe you'v known about it. :)
