[Tutor] Need suggestions on how to join a Python project.

[hcohen2]

Everyone:

I know the standard method: propose patches to existing code.  That 
usually takes a considerable period of time and a skill level I have not 
yet obtained.

I have some free time to really learn python this time, and for me 
working on a real project accerates the process.  The down side would be 
that I would require some extra effort directing my work.  However, in 
the longer term I could become an asset.  Moreover, I have well nearly 
fifteen years experience as a professional coder.

Anyone have any ideas?   (Forget Ask Slashdot, my post was rejected.)

Thanks,
Herschel
