Hello,
As you may have seen, I have recently been granted developer privileges on python svn.
Let me introduce myself. I am French, 35 years old, and father of 5 children. I work as a programmer in a fund manager company, and have been working with python for eight years now.
What I mostly like in python are:
- fun to work with
- its robustness: not only against bugs, but the stability of its concepts, and the readability of its code base;
- easy to interface with any other system.
To start with python development, I think I will try to help with python3.0, or picking some bugs in the issue tracker.
I have some knowledge of the python internals, with hours of debugging sessions of a C++ application mixed with the python interpreter. And I think I have read almost every svn commit for two years.
I can also help on win32 specific development. As an example, I find that the distutils module don't work very well with the new compilers. I won't be of much help on Unix, though. I also like good and accurate documentation. Even if my english may be poor sometimes, I can help with writing some parts. Digging in the code to extract specifications is one of my favourite jobs. And of course I can help on other subjects if there is some interest.
I am very excited to take part in this great project. So please forgive me if I do something wrong or too quickly. And your (kind) remarks will always be welcome.
