py lib contact and communication
===================================
.. contents::
.. sectnum::
IRC Channel #pylib on irc.freenode.net
--------------------------------------------
The #pylib channel on freenode displays all commits to the py lib
and you are welcome to lurk or to ask questions there!
`py-dev`_ developers mailing list
-----------------------------------
If you see bugs and/or can provide patches, please
subscribe to the `py-dev developers list`_.
As of Febrary 2007 it has medium to low traffic.
`py-svn`_ commit mailing list
-----------------------------------
If you'd like to see ongoing development commits,
please subscribe to:
`py-svn general commit mailing list`_
This list (as of February 2007) has medium to high traffic.
`development bug/feature tracker`_
---------------------------------------------
This (somewhat old) roundup instance still serves
to file bugs and track issues. However, we also
keep a list of "TODOs" in various directories.
Coding and communication
------------------------
We are practicing what could be called documentation,
vision, discussion and automated-test driven development.
In the `future`_ book we try to layout visions and ideas for
the near coding feature to give a means for preliminary
feedback before code hits the ground.
With our `coding style`_ we are mostly following
cpython guidance with some additional restrictions
some of which projects like twisted_ or zope3_ have
adopted in similar ways.
.. _`zope3`: http://zope3.zwiki.org/
.. _twisted: http://www.twistedmatrix.org
.. _future: future/future.html
.. _`get an account`:
get an account on codespeak
---------------------------
codespeak_ is employing a liberal committing scheme. If you know
someone who is active on codespeak already or you are otherwise known in
the community then you will most probably just get access. But even if
you are new to the python developer community you may still get one if
you want to improve things and can be expected to honour the
style of coding and communication.
