Is there a usenet library for Python?

fairly easily but, mostly, I got a lot of false positives with talk of
Python libraries on usenet and I am really hoping this work has already
done.
Thank you...

I'm interested in the former, an NNTP client. Thank you Grant and
Jean-Paul (who answered this question in another post). I should have
guessed at searching for "NNTP" instead of "usenet..."

What to Google for is always obvious after the fact.
