It actually depends on where you are accessing the Atom or RSS feeds. If you access them on the main discussions page they will show a list of the recent (perhaps all) discussions. If you access them on a topics page it will show all topics on that page.
Either way I'm glad you like the email subscription option.
Heh, I know what you mean supertux, there really isn't much of anything happening around here yet, but hopefully as time goes on other users will start to drift in and use the forums!
As far as a general python Q/A what exactly do you mean? Do you mean something like the python category? Or some posts that start to answer some general python questions?
Again these forums are pretty new, I'm hoping that some of the readers of my blog will start to use the forums to ask questions about their own python projects, or about things not covered in any of my tutorials.
But I do have to thank you for participating in the forums so far!
