<p>The Python Core Mentorship Program is predicated on the idea that Python core, and Python as a whole would be served by further lowering the barrier to entry of contribution to Python core (<a class="reference external" href="https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2011-March/110077.html">original proposal</a>)</p> <p>The mission of the Python Core Mentor Program is to provide an open and welcoming place to connect students, programmers – and <strong>anyone</strong> interested in contributing to the Python core development. This project is based on the idea that the best way to welcome new people into any project is a venue which connects them to a variety of mentors who can assist in guiding them through the contribution process, including discussions on lists such as python-dev, and python-ideas, the bug tracker, Git questions, code reviews, etc.</p> <p>Additionally, mentors assist in something incredibly critical to maintain contributor interest: getting patches through the process and actually <strong>committed</strong>. We all know – not everyone who is mentor will have all the answers, so mentors also act as conduits to others who will have the answer.</p> <p>The most important point to make is that <em>everyone is welcome</em> and no one, no matter who they are, is turned away. Keep to the code of conduct, and help those around you.</p> </div> <div class="section" id="id2"> <span id="resources"></span><h1>Resources</h1> <ul class="simple"> <li><a class="reference external" href="https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/core-mentorship/">The mailing list</a> (signup there)</li> <li><a class="reference external" href="https://mail.python.org/mm3/archives/list/core-mentorship@python.org/">The list archives</a> <em>(The current archive is only available to the list members.)</em></li> <li><a class="reference external" href="https://docs.python.org/devguide/">The Python Developer's Guide</a> should be your first stop - we will be adding to it based on feedback from the mentorship list</li> <li><a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/">The Python bug tracker</a> you're going to want to bookmark it.</li> <li><a class="reference external" href="https://discuss.python.org/">The Python Discourse instance</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="section" id="id3"> <span id="code-of-conduct"></span><h1>Code of Conduct</h1> <p>The following code of conduct is not meant as a means for punishment, action or censorship for the mailing list or project.
