Is there a wxPython forum that everyone recommends? I know there
are some out there, and the forum format (with subforums and clickable
topics which you can drill down to and can then subscribe to via email
if you wish, and so on) I find easier than the list-server format,
since then I need not sift through dozens of messages in my Inbox…
Thanks,

Hi everyone,<br> Is there a wxPython forum
that everyone recommends?
Definitely: The wxPython mailing list.
I know there are some out there, and the forum format (with
subforums and clickable topics which you can drill down to and
can then subscribe to via email if you wish, and so on) I find
easier than the list-server format, since then I need not sift
through dozens of messages in my Inbox...
Yikes! People actually read mailing lists by having messages
show up in their inboxes? How, um, primitive.
I _highly_ recommend picking a good NNTP News client and pointing
it at nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.wxpython

Yikes! People actually don’t use GMail?
Seriously though, pre-Gmail, it was primitive and painful. Conversations, labels and a very good search make it a highly positive experience now, though. At least, for the high-attention mailing lists that I want to keep on top of on daily basis.
Uh. seems appropriate now. Imma gonna go sit in a corner.
And in the interest of actually saying something of some actual use to the conversation… to the OP, … If you’re on a Mac, the only good choice for a NNTP reader is Unison ( http://www.panic.com/unison/). On a PC, there’s a million. Try to get one with really good threading support that you like.
http://www.newsreaders.com/win/clients.html has a number listed.
That is, unless you settle down onto the gmane.org website.

That's Network News Transport Protocol. It's the equivalent for Usenet
(where newsgroups reside) as is SMTP (Simple Mail Transport Protocol) for
e-mail exchange, HTTP (HyperText Transport Protocol) for web pages, and FTP
(File Transport Protocol) for putting and getting files on ftp servers on
the 'Net. There're also protocols such as NTP (Network Time Protocol) used
to synchronize the time on computer networks and hosts using primary or
secondary (preferred) reference clocks maintained by the National Bureau of
Standards using atomic clocks.
2)Being subscribed to the ML doesn't imply to receive the mails of the ML?
It does. You can think of mail lists as pushing information to you. It's
passive on your part. The mail just shows up in your inbox automagically
with no effort on your part. Getting articles from Usenet news groups is
active on your part. You need to log on and pull the information to you.

It's a client used to read newsgroup articles kept on NNTP
servers. Way back before the Internet, and _decades_ before
"web forums" were invented, there was Usenet.
In Usenet there "newsgroups" that work very similarly to
mailing lists, except the articles are kept on news servers
rather than being sent to individual subscribers. NNTP is a
protocol used by clients to read those articles.
News clients (unlike mail clients) are designed specifically
for managing multiple (sometimes large) discussion groups each
of which can have dozens or hundreds of active threads.
My NNTP client of choice is slrn, but there are many other good
ones from which to choose.
2) Being subscribed to the ML doesn't imply to receive the
mails of the ML?
No. You can subscribe without having articles sent. I do that
for quite a few lists, since many of them require you to
subscribe before you can post.

It does.
No, it doesn't. I am subscribed to a couple dozen mailing
lists. I get mail from none of them. I subscribe so that I am
allowed to post (either via mail or NNTP/gmane).

If you have more wx related questions (like how to deal with the
internals) you can also subscribe to the wxWidgets forum at: http://wxforum.shadonet.com
I'm thinking of adding a subforum again for wxPython, as some of the
questions we get are more and more wxPython related

I have Gmail tageverything on this mailing list and hide it from the
inbox, so I have an easy way to read this list without adding more
excessive stuffing to my inbox. You may want to try that as well.
The only downside is that you have to be online to use Gmail.
