For some reason I can't seem to make use of the google links. When I use the above eg
http://groups.google.com/groups?frame=right&th=e562a771d1c827c9
I get a not found google page with url http://groups-beta.google.com/groups?frame=right&th=e562a771d1c827c9
really wanted to spell file in a sickly manner :)
It seems Google recently redid their groups interface. By searching for "group:comp.lang.python Coghlan" on http://groups.google.com, I was able to find the probable post (Sort by Date, titled "Restricted Execution on the cheap", about four down)
Nicely, google seems to have reverted their main google groups page to the original system, and left the new one at groups-beta.google.com
I'm sorry I'm not able to give a direct URL, but it seems they've switched over to a horrendously long, stateful URL system which doesn't lend itself to direct linkage.
Doesn't seem stateful to me, just has different thread / message ids to the old system:
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_thread/thread/1db72429a2b05ce0/2c1679d365ffe9dd#2c1679d365ffe9dd
The syntax is thread/$threadid/$messageid#$messageid At least for me, these URLs are transferable between computers / browsers
You can also access the message directly:
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/msg/2c1679d365ffe9dd
