Run the failed test in verbose mode: ./python -m test -v test_re Get the traceback, search on the bug tracker whether this bug already was reported (I suppose you have the en_IN locale and this is issue29571 [1]), and if nothing is found open a new ticket. Now read the code and try to find the cause of the bug and write a patch that fixes it. If this is issue29571, the cause is known, and several solutions was proposed, but the problem is deeper. [1] https://bugs.python.org/issue29571

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.) On Sun, May 14, 2017 at 8:04 AM, Pranav Deshpande < deshpande.v.pranav@gmail.com> wrote:

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?
