You need access to a USENET server to use USENET. Many ISP provide one
for free to their customers (mine does) - maybe yours does too. (alas,
fewer and fewer provide this)

There are also a few free servers, google a bit, maybe you'll find one
that has comp.lang.python

Though, really, why not use the mailing list?

[The OP isn't available, so I'm replying here]

One easy way is to use gmane.org:

nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.general

Some of us think that news clients are far better at handling things
like this than are mail clients.

FWIW I read the ng/ml with Thunderbird on Windows Vista through
gmane.comp.python.general, works a treat.

Kindest regards.
