The general steps are (in no particular order): * Have the code written and meeting PEP 7/8 standards. * Thorough unit tests using unittest or doctest. * Full documentation ready to go in the proper format. * Promise to maintain the code for at least a couple of years and have your contrib agreement in. * Use Python's issue tracker and svn repository as the main point of development. * Have the community consider it best-of-breed. * Convince the stdlib-sig that it is a good addition and then python-dev. I think that's everything. =) If you have more questions you can email the stdlib-sig and/or me. -Brett _______________________________________________ Web-SIG mailing list Web-SIG@python.org Web SIG: http://www.python.org/sigs/web-sig Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/web-sig/archive%40mail-archive.com
