Welcome!

> How do you search the archives?

The forum is archived in numerous places. The complete set of forums is
at <URL:http://mail.python.org/>, for example this one is at
<URL:https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list>.

One straightforward way to search the official archives is to do a web
search including the term “site:mail.python.org”. You can optionally add
another term for the name of the forum you want the search restricted
to. For example:

    <URL:https://duckduckgo.com/?q=site%3Amail.python.org+python-list+tutorial>

Good hunting!
