If you have a bug in Python itself, or to get help using Python see: http://www.python.org/about/help/
If you wish to report a bug or to suggest an enhancement for the python.org website, please check first to see if a ticket already exists for the subject you are reporting:
http://pydotorg.python.org/pydotorg/report/1
If your bug has not been reported, please register on Trac (currently requires emailing sdeibel at wingware dot com for help) and add a ticket with suitable categories and priorities:
http://pydotorg.python.org/pydotorg/newticket
Thanks!
- Please accept my apologies for editing this page inappropriately as a crude way of making a bug report, but for a simple little item like this it's just not worth the reader's time to go through a non-automated system for registering on Trac. (If I could have registered instantaneously I would have used Trac.) Anyhow, here are the bug reports I wanted to make:
- The release date of 2.5.1 on //www.python.org/download is wrong, it says Apr 18, 2006 but it should be 2007. (I would have just fixed it myself if that page were open to edits; I would have registered to edit if the process had been automatic.) [Fixed; thanks! --amk]
