I wish to make contribution to Python source code. I have studied the developers guide and made myself familiar with mercurial. I wish to start of with some doc bugs as this will give me insight into
how the whole process(review, tests, patches) works. Is it okay if to take:

http://bugs.python.org/issue19940.


Will update the bug report once you guys are fine with it. My platform will primarily be Linux.

Background:

I have worked with runtime analysis tools, MPI, OpenMP and now currently working on Java.
Let me know if there are areas where I can be of help to you. Thanks for the maintaining this wonderful language.

Welcome Gudge, and thanks for wanting to contribute. We're a fairly open
organisation, so you don't need anyone's permission to start
contributing: just add your comments or your patch to the issue you want
to work on.

The core-mentorship mailing list might be of use to you: it is
specifically aimed at people wanting help with contributing to Python.
It has special conditions to make it more friendly to people who might
be shy of looking foolish on a public mailing list. Feel free to subscribe:

https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/core-mentorship

(see also http://pythonmentors.com/ which acts as a landing page for the
list)

Good luck

TJG

Having just glanced at that issue, I would point out that there's been a
lot of development around the ssl module for the 3.4 release, so you
definitely want to confirm the issue against the hg tip to ensure it
still applies.

Follow the suggestion to join the core-mentorship list. I will just add
here that issues are 'assigned' for review and commitment to one of the
core developers with commit rights to the python.org repository. Anyone
can submit a patch to the tracker. It is ok to post that you are working
on an issue, if indeed you are. Perhaps about half the commits involve
contributions from non-core developers.
