<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>
mailing lists on a wide variety of topics such as image processing, numerical algorithms
and more.</p>
<h2>More</h2>
<p>An index of conferences, Wiki's, bookshops and more can be found at the
<a href="http://www.python.org/psa/">Community</a> section of the Python website.</p>
