Hi,
Nowadays, joining to IRC is a hurdle for new contributors.
There are some alternative, modern web applications:
* Slack -- Most used for tech communities.
* Discord -- Similar to slack. It is focusing game, but support OSS too. [1]
* Gitter -- Most integrated with Github. typing, mypy, pip use it already.
[1] https://discordapp.com/open-source
I know adding communication channel is not good always.
(We couldn't keep https://discuss.python.org/)
But I think IRC is really high hurdle …
[View More]for young people.
How about trying one of them? (maybe, gitter?)

For https://bugs.python.org/issue32836, I ended up picking "behaviour"
as the issue type (since we're reporting that we're using a symbol
that we don't actually use), but it did prompt the thought: should we
add a "refactoring" type to the issue tracker?
Right now, we tend to mark refactoring changes as "enhancement", but
I'm thinking there would be value in making it clear that we don't
expect end users to notice a particular change, it's just for the
benefit of current and future maintainers.…

Cheers,
Nick.

You can sign up at https://python.zulipchat.com/register/ . Do read the
text on the sign-up page as it mentions key things like automatically
hyperlinking for issues, the CoC, etc.
The instance is currently very open at Zulip's/Greg's suggestion. That
means people can add bots, create streams, etc. If this starts to get out
of hand we can lock it down and make those things admin-only. Otherwise we
are leaving it open for now to see what practices emerge from usage.
To start, I have created …
[View More]several streams that orient around various mailing
lists we already have. I also set up bots for commits, PR comments/reviews
(although that's so new I have not seen it triggered yet :), and bot
deployments for Bedevere and the Knights Who Say Ni (when Mariatta comes
back from her break we can ask her to hook up miss-islington). I think this
covers the major areas of our workflow to get us started with this
experiment.
Initially this should be oriented towards the development of Python and not
using Python. If this experiment turns out really well we can talk about
either expanding this instance or opening a separate instance for people to
go discuss Python in general, using it, getting help, etc.
I am also not announcing this on python-committers or python-dev yet until
we have played with it for a week or so. If this ends up looking like a
worth-while experiment and experience then we can make a broader
announcement. And then after that if this continues to be beneficial we can
then start discussing officially integrating Zulip into our communication
ecosystem for core development.

Running `make patchcheck` resulted in the following:
Getting the list of files that have been added/changed ... fatal: ambiguous argument 'origin/3.7': unknown revision or
path not in the working tree.
How does one fix that? The commands leading up to this:
git checkout -b bpo-33217-3.7 upstream/3.7
<edit Lib/enum.py and Lib/test/test_enum.py>
make distclean
cp Modules/Setup.dist Modules/Setup
./configure --with-pydebug && make -j2
./python -m test.regrtest …
[View More]test_enum.py
./python -m test.regrtest
make patcheck
Any help appreciated! :)
