Is there a usenet library for Python?

Is there a Python library to communicate with a usenet server? I did a
bit of googling and found some sites that suggest that you can roll your own
fairly easily but, mostly, I got a lot of false positives with talk of
Python libraries on usenet and I am really hoping this work has already
done.
Thank you...

Which protocol are you interested in, NNTP (for reading/posting
from a client) or the other one that hosts use to transfer news
feeds amongst themselves (C-NEWS)? If you google for Python
and the protocl name, I bet you'll find something like this:

I'm interested in the former, an NNTP client. Thank you Grant and

guessed at searching for "NNTP" instead of "usenet..."

What to Google for is always obvious after the fact. :)
