There does happen to be a python-tutor list (as Mark mentioned), but
as a general rule, it's not a problem to have a mixture of levels of
question on the same list. Don't be afraid to ask basic questions
while people are asking more complicated ones; this is one of the
beauties of mailing lists and newsgroups, the separation of threads.
