Baptiste> Reading this from GMANE ;-) I use GMANE too on occasion, but only via the web, as I suppose most people do. I haven't actually used an NNTP-based app like xrn or gnus in probably two decades. Do the GMANE folks publish HTTP v. NNTP statistics for their service? I question if the nntplib module is used enough to warrant inclusion with the rest of the batteries. Not to mention dedication of scarce people resources. Even though Antoine has kindly volunteered to make the necessary changes, I seem to recall that the email package transition took awhile to get right (and already had a reasonable test suite I suspect). There are probably more critical parts of Python he could work on instead (though who's to dispute that Antoine has an NNTP itch?) Finally, is there an application out in the wild using nntplib which is desirous of better NNTP support than Python currently has? We got rid of gopherlib a few years ago (deprecated in 2.5, presumably gone in 2.6). I suspect the NNTP protocol has a greatly diminished user base as well, GMANE's presence notwithstanding. Skip
