Hi,
I've used git extensively, and I can soon read up on how to contribute on git. So what's the next step? Is there a howto somewhere on the Twisted site?

Cheers,

Hi Chris,

Twisted does not yet support Python 3 on Windows.

That's a shame. I've never contributed to an open source project before, but I'd be glad to try and help out. I feel I __may__ know enough Python now to certainly have a shot at it.

If you feel like you might, you definitely do :-). Often people feel like they need to be advanced rocket surgeons to work on Twisted, but in fact, our robust code-review process means that you don't have to worry about making mistakes at all. Just submit your best effort, and you'll get a code review telling you how to improve it so that it can be integrated (and you _will_ get at least one round of review: I created Twisted, and even _I_ can't usually land a patch without one or two rounds of review ;-)).

Thanks for offering to help out! If everybody who wanted Python 3 support just signed on to work on a ticket like this, the port would have been finished a year ago ;-).
There's a ticket athttps://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/8025#ticket  which 
makes all the tests pass on the platform; I just need to work on it some more. 
I expect Twisted 16.0 to have base support for Python 3 on Windows.
As above, if I can help, please tell me how!

Our toolchain is a little clunky (sorry about that) for hysterical raisins.

Before I launch into an explanation though, are you already familiar with Git and/or how to contribute on GitHub?
