Documentation Development

Documentation submissions are welcome in plain text from contributors without ReST knowledge. Python documentation is developed in much the same way as the interpreter itself. It is a community effort, and bugs and patches should be submitted through the Issue tracker.

Python committers: if you handle a submission that contains documentation in plain text, feel free to assign it to one of the following people for ReSTification:

• Georg Brandl (georg.brandl in the tracker)
• George Yoshida (quiver in the tracker)
• Neal Norwitz (nnorwitz in the tracker)

Development versions of the Python documentation are available on-line and updated daily:

• SVN trunk, for the next feature release of Python.
• SVN trunk for Python 3, for the 3.x series.

The non-dev versions for the current stable branches are also updated daily.

Contributors and potential contributors wishing to modify the documentation source themselves should read Documenting Python, which details the conventions and markup used in creating and maintaining the Python documentation. The SVN trunk version is the recommended version for contributors, regardless of which Python branch is being modified.
