Could you please help me with this? No one can help you because you have said nothing about the issue. It is as if I were to write "I am having a problem with my car. Can you help me?". And before you can think about modifying the code, you need to understand what the issue is, why it is happening, how that could be changed, and why that would be a safe kind of change to make. After that, you would be prepared to think about details of the code. And that thinking would need to include ways in which you could verify that you can make the problem occur and how you can test to make sure that it is fixed after changes to the code. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

the issue is that after reading the issue I am not able to think how to modify the code, this is where I am stuck On Wed, Dec 7, 2022 at 1:54 AM ramvikram singh wrote: > Greetings, > I learnt python this year and visiting the python issue tab for the last > two months, but there is a problem which I am facing I understand the issue > after reading the few times but I can't think about how to modify the code > as per the issue.

Could you please help me with this? There is a page about contributing work on code to Python at https://devguide.python.org It starts out: "This guide is a comprehensive resource for contributing to Python – for both new and experienced contributors." You should study this guide carefully. If you don't know how to use git, clone a repo, work with git branches, what a pull request is, and so forth, you need to get some basic familiarity with working with those tools and concepts.You should be able to file new issues on GitHub and contribute to their discussion thread. If you want to actually contribute code, you should be able to build Python yourself, as covered in the guide. After that, you should remember that while help is welcome, the Python code base has a long history and a change that seems obvious to you may not work because of other constraints on that part of the codebase. I once suggested a change in a particular function for finding executable files so that it would look in some other locations too. I learnt that this function was intended for internal use by distutils, and that it needed its quirks to work properly in its intended use. No one wanted to take a chance on changing it. I'm not saying you cannot or should not try to contribute useful changes. I'm only saying that you need to get prepared - do your homework - first, and to not be discouraged if your first efforts are not accepted. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Greetings, I learnt python this year and visiting the python issue tab for the last two months, but there is a problem which I am facing I understand the issue after reading the few times but I can't think about how to modify the code as per the issue. Could you please help me with this? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
