What is MacPython?

# MacPython Community

## Web Sites

The MacPython homepage, www.cwi.nl/~jack/macpython.html is where you can find installers, documents, links to useful packages and more. And, of course, www.python.org has a much larger collection of material on Python that is not Mac-specific.

## News groups and Mailing lists

There are a lot of mailing lists on Python. Some of the more interesting ones are:

- python-help@python.org where you can send questions for individual support. Please check the websites mentioned above first, though!
- The comp.lang.python newsgroup for general discussion. Also available as a mailing list.
- The comp.lang.python.announce newsgroup for announcements. Low-volume and moderated. Also available as a mailing list.
- Last but not least, the pythonmac-sig mailing list is specifically for MacPython. Discussions on the implementation of new features, but beginners questions are welcome too.

In addition there are Python Special Interest Group mailing lists on a wide variety of topics such as image processing, numerical algorithms and more.
