Off list, Burkhard Meier helped me figure out why I hadn't seen the
announcement:
It was sent as one email cross-posted to multiple groups. I am
subscribed to 3 of those groups: python-announce, python-list,
python-dev with this same email address. My mail filter rules would have
seen the many To: address, and filtered /all/ copies I received to the
python-list mailbox, because my filter rules looked for python-list
before python-dev. I've just changed that to give priority to
python-dev before the others. (just one of the evil side-effects of
cross-posting!)
But, as far as I can tell, I only received one message, and that went to
the wrong folder first... the one where python-list should go. In
reviewing my filters, I was reminded that python-announce and python-dev
go to the same folder, which I read regularly. The python-list folder I
can't keep up with, I read it occasionally, and search it when I have
questions -- using it as a locally stored resource of helpful tips, and
that is where the announcement went, because of the order of my filter
rules, and the cross-posted announcement.
So either Google (my email host) noticed that I got 3 of the same
message, and suppressed two of them, or the python-dev mail server that
hosts the mailing lists merged the expanded destinations with duplicate
suppression. I'm inclined to think the former is more likely.
