Code contributions¶
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.
[The main page for code contributors.]
[We’ll include code-focused content from the main devguide page: Quick reference, Quick links, Proposing changes, and so on.]
[The existing CPython’s internals section of the devguide will be fully migrated into the Python repo.]
