I agree with Francesco: Python is increasingly used in sciences (or, at least, I use it increasingly :-) and it would be of some use to have a communication channel focused on this: there are a few mailing lists for specific niche topics (CAD, XML) already, so sciences could be one more. There are mailing lists for numpy/scipy, f2py, VTK and the rest of it, but nothing quite like what Francesco suggests, as far as I know. Some folks that do not want to be flooded by 200 posts/day are going to pop up there and explain how they replaced 60,000 lines of FORTRAN by 100 lines of Python in one afternoon (before the tea break), surely that can't hurt. Anyway, I do not see how to suggest a new mailing list on http://www.python.org/community/lists/ - does anyone know? cheers, J. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
