There are some other commands you can use to more efficiently wade
through the active file on the news server. For your case, A M
(`gnus-group-list-all-matching'). Try A M python RET.
Also, U from the *Group* buffer will give you a completion-enabled
list. This is a particularly quick way to search if you are also using
(setq gnus-completing-read-function 'gnus-ido-completing-read); you will
then have narrowing by partial matches in the prompt.
Best,
WGG
