CPython Patch Review Party

Have you ever wondered how Python works under the hood? Join us for an evening of exploring CPython (the most popular Python 'backend') and how to contribute to the open source community that develops and maintains it.

More information and materials will be available closer to the event! Please bring your laptop!

Please also register with SkillsMatter https://skillsmatter.com/meetups/9316-pyladies-march-meetup

Edit: Please kindly note this is not a workshop about how to program in Python, but a session that introduces people to developing the programming libraries that are used to construct the Python programming language.

CPython Patch Review Party

This meetup is for anyone who is interested in contributing to the CPython open source project on Github (https://github.com/python). During this meetup we will take a peek at Python internals, pick bugs from the Python open source issue tracker (https://bugs.python.org/) and try our hands at reviewing already submitted patches (or you can just relax and work on your own Python projects :D ).

Before the meetup

If you want to review patches made by other contributors or submit a pull request, it is a good idea to clone the Python repository from Github (you will need a git client running on your machine), build Python from source and run the tests. Detailed instructions are available in the

CPython developers' setup guide (https://docs.python.org/devguide/)
