You may be confused.

<URL:is a URL to a Usenet newsgroup, as
evidenced by the 'schema part. If your web browser is
configured properly to invoke a newsreader (such as Thunderbird) for
'URLs, your newsrreader will then attempt to get the
comp.lang.newsgroup from your default NNTP server.

python-list is a mailing list.

There's a relation between them which you're not mentioning, which is
that all posts to the mailing list are gated to the newsgroup and vice
versa. They are not completely unrelated entities.

footnote: if you have no such server, things won't work.

for an excellent way to read the python mailing list via a news-
reader even if you don't have access to a "real" NNTP server,
see http://gmane.org/

(quick instructions: point the newsreader to "news.gmane.org",
and look for the group "gmane.comp.python.general".)

Using an NNTP gateway to a mailing list that's gatewayed to a
Usenet group. That's about like running Cygwin under Windows
under Linux: there are valid reasons to do it, but it always
feels surreal.

Yes, but it works. I use gmane for c.l.p mostly because I also use it for
other Python lists that are *not* gatewayed to a Usenet group, I far prefer
the newsgroup interface, and I like having all Python groups together in
one block in the side-bar. At one time, my newserver access was also less
dependable than Gmane and switching back and forth was a nuisance.
