# 處理 Bug

Python 已經是一個以穩定著稱的成熟程式語言。為了維持「穩定」此信譽，開發者們想知道任何您發現的缺失。

有時候自己直接修復 bug 並且送出一個修正給 Python 會比較快，因為這樣會加速流程而且不會困擾到太多人。學習如何貢獻給 Python。

## 說明文件錯誤

If you find a bug in this documentation or would like to propose an improvement, please submit a bug report on the tracker. If you have a suggestion on how to fix it, include that as well.

If you're short on time, you can also email documentation bug reports to docs@python.org (behavioral bugs can be sent to python-list@python.org). 'docs@' is a mailing list run by volunteers; your request will be noticed, though it may take a while to be processed.

Python issue tracker 上文件相關的錯誤

## 使用 Python 議題追蹤

Issue reports for Python itself should be submitted via the GitHub issues tracker (https://github.com/python/cpython/issues). The GitHub issues tracker offers a web form which allows pertinent information to be entered and submitted to the developers.

The first step in filing a report is to determine whether the problem has already been reported. The advantage in doing so, aside from saving the developers' time, is that you learn what has been done to fix it; it may be that the problem has already been fixed for the next release, or additional information is needed (in which case you are welcome to provide it if you can!). To do this, search the tracker using the search box at the top of the page.

If the problem you're reporting is not already in the list, log in to GitHub. If you don't already have a GitHub account, create a new account using the "Sign up" link. It is not possible to submit a bug report anonymously.

Being now logged in, you can submit an issue. Click on the "New issue" button in the top bar to report a new issue.

The submission form has two fields, "Title" and "Comment".

For the "Title" field, enter a very short description of the problem; less than ten words is good.

In the "Comment" field, describe the problem in detail, including what you expected to happen and what did happen. Be sure to include whether any extension modules were involved, and what hardware and software platform you were using (including version information as appropriate).

Each issue report will be reviewed by a developer who will determine what needs to be done to correct the problem. You will receive an update each time an action is taken on the issue.

## 開始讓自己貢獻 Python

Beyond just reporting bugs that you find, you are also welcome to submit patches to fix them. You can find more information on how to get started patching Python in the Python Developer's Guide. If you have questions, the core-mentorship mailing list is a friendly place to get answers to any and all questions pertaining to the process of fixing issues in Python.
