Unfortunately, Gmane's version of this newsgroup
(gmane.comp.python.general) has all of the offensive spam.  I'm kinda
surprised considering the detailed information that they put on their
site about spam filtering.

These are the ones I got to work:
  - textnews.news.cambrium.nl
  - mail.tsu.ru

... They're light on the spam, but they're read-only.

Ironically, the Google Groups version
(https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/comp.lang.python) has almost
none of the spam, although I did see one message that said "This topic
has been hidden because it was flagged for abuse".  I can't join that
Google Group, though.  I guess that's because it's just a viewer for
the newsgroup.
