Or use a newsgroup reader that can be easily taught to ignore certain
subjects or posters.  Or buy your newsgroup service from a provider that
does some filtering.  I use slrn to read news from news.individual.net,
and see only a handful of spam posts on a typical day.

Can we do something about it?
It's getting really frustrating :/


It seems from the headers on your message that you're actually using the 
comp.lang.python newsgroup and not the mailing list. The newsgroup is 
completed unmoderated.  The mailing list is far less noisy.


Go here:

  https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

and subscribe, and see if things seem better than the newsgroup.
Or point your newsreader to news.gmane.org group 
gmane.comp.python.general, which mirrors python-list.

Folks, 

More and more nonsense are coming in and I find it really difficult to follow 
any new post that may come and I have to either search for specific content or 
scroll down until I hit it by accident.

Can we do something about it?

It's getting really frustrating :/

Cheers.
