Editing IntroductoryBooks page
by daniël bosold June 3, 2020

June 3, 2020

I was just reading the wiki looking for some recommended introductory books on the IntroductoryBooks page and noticed that most of the entries there are Video courses. While, interesting, it's not what this page is about. Hoping to edit this page (and move the courses to a VideoCourses page - or some such) I found that it's locked down, likely due to inconsiderate users or spammers. I'd like to be able to fix this page as well as add a separate one for courses. Can I do that? thank you, RagnarVanDerWiel

Wiki Edit
by Brian Schilling April 26, 2020

April 26, 2020

Python Team, The https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/Programmers page includes the following MIT course from 2008: MIT's 6.00 Introduction to Computer Science and Programming <http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-00…> (in Python). This is outdated but it looks like there is a more recent version you can sign up for via edX. Here is a link to the 2016 course, https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-0… I did not create a Wiki account as I do not currently plan to be a regular editor but will create one if that changes in the future. Cheers, Brian Schilling

Editing python wiki page PythonDebuggingTools
by asterite April 24, 2020

April 24, 2020

Hello! I have just signed up. My wiki username: asterite I want to edit the table in section "Special-purpose tools" on page "PythonDebuggingTools". It says that tool "pystuck" uses GDB to inject code, but I didn't find anything about attaching using GDB (or otherwise injecting code to an unprepared live python process) in pystuck's code, documentation and commit history. So I thought that sentence "Uses GDB to inject code" about "pystuck" is wrong and I wanted to remove it from pystuck's table row.

reporting website issues
by Mats Wichmann April 22, 2020

April 22, 2020

Sorry, I've lost track over time. Where should people report problems / requests with Python website content (not wiki content)? These come periodically to webmaster, which is actually in some way logical, but oddly (to outsiders) we don't actually do that. The issue tracker for the pythondotorg project (https://github.com/python/pythondotorg/issues) used to be recommended, and while it still has some people who respond, they don't seem to know either. e.g. this enlightening response to a request from Dan Bader to add a link to RealPython podcasts: "Hmm I don't even know who owns/manage the content of python.org?" Anybody here have a suggestion? We have something in the webmaster autoresponse message, I'd like to update it if there's a reliable place for folks to go to. regards, -- mats
