Maybe I'm just being an unrepentant Python fanboy here, but it would be
fairly trivial to hack something together with Python. The standard
library even has an NNTP client:

In fact, I'm willing to bet that someone, somewhere has written a
web-based newsreader with Python, though I can't say I've ever looked.
