Hi,
So glad to have found this place. Absolutely love python and would love to contribute to it. I feel hesitant to do so at the moment but I am reading the docs where I can.
If anybody could provide advice for getting over the anxiety of a first contribution or could provide support Iād really appreciate it.
This seems like a really friendly and supportive community which I hope to contribute to in the future. For now I just wanted to say hi
