I just wanted to start contributing to open-source; that is all. I was going to ask for guidance after I completed the initial steps( search for beginner friendly bugs) and get a general idea of the code. How do I go about doing this?

Regards,

Pranav

What is it that you wanted to contribute? Unless it affects regular expressions  you probably needn't worry about that one test. (If you do, run the test by itself in verbose mode so you can debug why it is failing.)
