Submitting a patch for a Python bug
Before you can apply for an internship, you'll need to submit at least 1 patch to Python. The [http://docs.python.org/devguide/| Python developer guide] describes how to do this in detail, but here are the main steps:
- Get the Python source code
- Run the Python tests
Pick a bug from http://bugs.python.org/ to work on. If you'd like suggestions, ask on the [https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/core-mentorship| Core mentorship mailing list]
[http://docs.python.org/devguide/patch.html| Create a patch addressing the bug]
- Run the Python tests with your patch applied to make sure they all still pass
- Attach your patch to the bug description in the bug tracker
- Tell the Core mentorship list that you've submitted your patch, so we can ensure that it gets reviewed and can start working on your application
The tools of Python development
Before you submit a patch, here are some of the tools we use that you may want to review or practice:
- IRC
- bug trackers
- the mercurial (hg) revision control system
- the diff and patch utilities
IRC
IRC is a real-time group chat system popular with many open source projects. Developers ask questions and discuss patches on IRC, and users also ask questions on IRC.
Learn more about how Python uses IRC here: http://www.python.org/community/irc/.
There are 3 main Python IRC channels, all on the Freenode IRC network, that you may be interested in:
#python-dev: for discussing the development of Python itself
#python: for asking and answering general Python questions
#pyladies: the main PyLadies IRC channel
Bug trackers
Python tracks bugs and features at http://bugs.python.org/.
Please familiarize yourself with how Python uses its bug tracker by exploring and finding answers to the following questions:
- What is the oldest open Python ticket?
- How many open issues need a patch?
- How many "critical"-level open issues are there?
Mercurial
Mercurial is the distributed version control system Python uses to manages changes to its code.
