Reporting Bugs in Python
************************
Python is a mature programming language which has established a reputation for
stability. In order to maintain this reputation, the developers would like to
know of any deficiencies you find in Python.

Bug reports should be submitted via the Python Bug Tracker

2007-08-15 11:28:01 -03:00
(http://bugs.python.org/). The bug tracker offers a Web form which allows
pertinent information to be entered and submitted to the developers.
The first step in filing a report is to determine whether the problem has
already been reported. The advantage in doing so, aside from saving the
developers time, is that you learn what has been done to fix it; it may be that
the problem has already been fixed for the next release, or additional
information is needed (in which case you are welcome to provide it if you can!).
To do this, search the bug database using the search box on the top of the page.
