Re: Finally had to plonk google gorups.

Steve,

My workplace doesn't offer NNTP, so there is no good way to browse
c.l.py here. And I haven't been able to get NNTP to work from my home
either.
I rarely use NNTP these days. I access c.l.py exclusively via e-mail,
and that works very well. In some cases there is a lot of spam that
gets filtered out of the nntp side, but makes it through to the smtp
side (like that religious spam a few months back). But I see absolutely
none of the google groups problems that Grant mentioned. I view my
python list mail in gmail, and get about 1-2 spam messages a day in the
python list.

This official python list is one of the few lists that's even still on
nntp. All my other ones (gnome, gtk, openldap, clamav, freeradius, etc)
are all e-mail mailing lists only and it works very well. In fact, I
think it's much better since list subscription can actually be
controlled by someone.

c.l.py has been on gmane for years, as comp.python.gen eral (why they
have to have their own naming hierarchy i have never understood).
Because "someone" chose that name when he/she asked for the list to be added; the name gmane.comp.lang .python *could* have been used, but wasn't.
(gmane uses its own hierarchy because not all mirrored lists exist as a newsgroup outside gmane, and there are potential name conflicts)

=============== ===

Gmane mirror mailing lists, not usenet newsgroups. There are over 200
gmane.comp.pyth on.* groups. As far as I know, only 2 are also regular
newsgroups. c.l.p, and c.l.p.announce. and those only because they are
first gatewayed to python.org mailing lists. In other words,
gmane.comp.pyth on.general mirrors python-list @ python.org

This may have been discussed before, but I'm kind of confused as to why Python doesn't support having both an except ~and~ a finally clause, like this: try: raise RuntimeException except: print "What is the answer?" finally: print 42

Say I have a childThread currently is running a finally block to cleanup external resources. At the same time the main thread calls childThread.Abort(). The question is: when the ThreadAbortException is thrown, does the childThread finish the remaining code in the finally block?

Hi, I am a bit confused as to what the FINALLY block is meant for. What's the difference between: this.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor; try { //do some stuff } catch { //handle exception } finally { this.Cursor = Cursors.Default; }

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
