 From the various replies to the initial query I get the
impression  
there are two distinct topics that people think the mailing
list  
should be about:
- The API that the Python core library presents to C code
(whether C  
is embedding or extending Python)
- How to make external C APIs available to Python programs.

Both interest me, and there is definitely some relationship
between  
the two, but I think it is a good idea if we focus the
list.

I dont think we need to distinguish between the 2, there are
examples on 
extending and embedding as well as existing projects that
can be used as 
a reference.

If people show some initiative Im sure they can get some
code started 
and then work through some of their problems on their own.

If they cant find answers from searching and looking at the
API docs 
this list would be the place to ask.

Personally I have found the basics are well documented, its
when your 
putting together an API and doing some more obscure stuff
that 
discussing these topics on a list would help.

Since its hard to get help on this topic I dont want to be
too exclusive 
and turn away people with valid questions related to the
Py/C api.
