Do you love Python?
I certainly do.
Have you ever thought how cool it would be to contribute to it?
Sounds scary? It is not!
Python, or more specifically CPython as the reference implementation of the Python programming language is called, is an open source project like any other - nothing magical.
Other resources
While there are many great resources out there to prepare you for the first contribution, such as
- Python Developer’s Guide
- Start Contributing to Python: Your First Steps
- or even the fantastic book CPython Internals they are pretty extensive, and I think we can do without, at least for our first contribution.
Where would I start
So, maybe I was wrong. There is something magical about contributing to CPython, or at least seeing my changes merged and even backported to older versions still gives me goose bumps.

Patterns are the same as for :mod:fnmatch, with the addition of “**”
which means “this directory and all subdirectories, recursively”. In other
words, it enables recursive globbing::

GH-101112: Specify type of pattern for Path.rglob
The documentation for rglob did not mention what pattern actually
is. Mention and link that pattern is the same as for fnmatch, which
shows helpful syntax in its documentation.
