Many people ask me regulary "how to find easy Python issues", and the last 3 years, I always failed to find such issues... Many "easy issues" are older than 3 years old, have more than 20 comments and no compromise has been found how to fix the "easy" issue...

See http://psf.upfronthosting.co.za/roundup/meta/issue605 for the previous discussion on easy issues. I re-triaged some of them (the initial list is at http://psf.upfronthosting.co.za/roundup/meta/msg3169) in the past year, but that's not something I want to do in my free time anymore (and unsurprisingly, companies aren't interested to fund issue triaging work)

I added [EASY] in the issue title to advertise these issues and used the "easy (C)" keyword.

Please consider not using prefixes in issue titles. Setting appropriate fields in the issue detail page should be enough. There is no need to duplicate the information in the title.
