Hmm, on one hand I understand the need for the separation between python-dev and python-list, but on the other hand I don't think python-list is a good place to discuss Python, the language.�
I now looked at the 17 most recent python-list threads. Out of them:
�- 58% are about third-party packages.
�- 17% are off-topic (not even programming related)
�- 11% are 2-vs-3 discussions
�- 5% are job offers.
�- 5% (which is just one thread out of 17) is about Python the language.
So can you understand why someone would be reluctant to start a discussion in python-list about Python the language there? Especially if this is the same place where beginners might ask newbies questions about Python? (So not only are actual Python questions just 5% of the content, non-newbie questions are just a subset of that 5%.)
it's full of people asking about third-party Python packages, or asking newbie questions.

Question: Why is there no str.rreplace in Python?
