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.
