Python Contributor’s Guide (draft)

Important

This is part of a Draft of the Python Contributor’s Guide. Text in square brackets are notes about content to fill in. Currently, the devguide and this new Contributor’s Guide co-exist in the repo. We are using Sphinx include directives to demonstrate the re-organization. The final Contributor’s Guide will replace the devguide with content in only one place. We welcome help with this!

The [Plan for the Contributor’s Guide] page has more details about the current state of this draft and how you can help. See more info about the Contributor Guide in the discussion forum: Refactoring the DevGuide.

This guide is a comprehensive resource for contributing to Python.

Note

This is a draft of a new organization for the devguide, turning it into a Contributor’s Guide.

[Much of the devguide home page will be here. The Quick Start will be updated to distinguish code vs documentation contributions, and moved to those sections. Other changes will be made to explain the different types of contribution and how to navigate the guide for your own type.]
