| <h2>Web Sites</h2> |
| |
| <p>The MacPython homepage, <a href="http://www.cwi.nl/~jack/macpython.html"> |
| www.cwi.nl/~jack/macpython.html</a> |
| is where you can find installers, documents, links to useful packages and more. |
| And, of course, |
| <a href="http://www.python.org">www.python.org</a> has a much larger collection |
| of material on Python that is not Mac-specific.</p> |
| |
| <h2>News groups and Mailing lists</h2> |
| |
| <p>There are a lot of mailing lists on Python. Some of the more interesting |
| ones are:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><a href="mailto:python-help@python.org">python-help@python.org</a> where |
| you can send questions for individual support. Please check the websites mentioned |
| above first, though!</li> |
| <li>The <a href="news:comp.lang.python">comp.lang.python</a> newsgroup for general |
| discussion. Also available as a |
| <a href="http://www.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list">mailing list</a>.</li> |
| <li>The <a href="news:comp.lang.python.announce">comp.lang.python.announce</a> |
| newsgroup for announcements. Low-volume and moderated. Also available as a |
| <a href="http://www.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list">mailing list</a>.</li> |
| <li>Last but not least, the <a href="http://www.python.org/sigs/pythonmac-sig/">pythonmac-sig</a> |
| mailing list is specifically for MacPython. Discussions on the implementation of new |
| features, but beginners questions are welcome too.</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>In addition there are Python <a href="http://www.python.org/sigs/">Special Interest Group</a> |
