I guess, Skip's question or intention was, how often nntplib as a module is being used these days to write scripts/tools or clients? Very rarely.

It would definitely be interesting to know, if there are python applications out there which are using nntplib at the moment.

It isn't a huge number, but not all of the results here are copies of Python standard library: http://www.google.com/codesearch?hl=en&start=10&sa=N&q=nntplib+lang:python

Not comprehensive of course, and it doesn't tell us how active these projects are, but it does indicate the real world use is greater than zero.

Cheers, Nick.
