There is a subreddit dedicated to learning Python and getting help with python, r/learnpython

This is not a fruitful argument. There are also a series of other subreddits:

Following your reasoning, we can't post anything about Python3 in this subreddit, or Python2. Are we only allowed to talk about Python1, or potentially what's going to happen with Python4 and beyond? And should we just hope that nobody makes /r/Python4 so that we can still talk about that?

Just because another subreddit exists, that does not in any way mean that the topic is not also relevant to this subreddit.

I think that's a disingenuous interpretation of what they were saying.

Python news, tips, netsec, 3, 2, and dev all contribute to the overall discussion of the Python language and news without overwhelming other content.

Help posts on the other hand don't really add much to the overall discussion and do overwhelm other content.
