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

Thank you Emile and Mark for your suggestions.
I fear that both are better suited to someone much more advanced than I!

You'd think so, but digging into any of the issues shown there and
simply trying to locate where a change may help resolve the issue is
itself a learning experience that'll do more for you taking your first
step then watching from the sidelines.

For example, take a look at http://bugs.python.org/issue25417 -- can
you figure out what file this change may impact?  (Note -- I haven't
looked)

Emile

Inspired by your encouragement (for which I'm grateful,) I had a look:
Here's the content of issue25417:
"""
The output of pydoc for Path.samefile currently reads

pathlib.Path.samefile = samefile(self, other_path)
    Return whether `other_file` is the same or not as this file.
    (as returned by os.path.samefile(file, other_file)).

It should arguably be something like

pathlib.Path.samefile = samefile(self, other_path)
    Return whether `other_path` is the same or not as this file.
    (as returned by os.path.samefile(file, other_file)).

or

pathlib.Path.samefile = samefile(self, other_path)
    Return whether `other_path` is the same or not as this file.
    (as returned by os.path.samefile(str(self), str(other_path))).
"""
The author suggests that the output A should in fact be more along the lines of
B or C but to my reading A==B==C!

Am I missing something?

I did look at the source: https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/3.5/Lib/pydoc.py How would one download the source? (i.e. the equivalent of git clone ...)

Thanks,
ak
