Description

Hi there! This issue is a permanent issue dedicated as a placeholder to for first time contributors. If you have questions talk to the community on our Discord server.

If you have a question about a particular issue, or pull request just tag @python-poetry/triage in a comment.

Where do I start?

The Contributing to Poetry guide of course.

What do I work on?

You can take your pick. Searching through the issues is a good start. Then maybe take a peek at our suggested issues, which are based on the good first issue label.

A great place to start, might be writing or improving tests (#3155), or improving documentation (#3060). These are great places to start as it gets you familiar with poetry's internals and user interface.

There is currently not a tracking issue for removals, but Poetry has dropped support for managing Python 2.7 -- contributions removing dead compatibility code are welcome as well.

What do I need to remember?

  • Be patient, be nice to others.
  • You can always create a Draft PR to discuss a proposal.
  • Write tests every time it is feasible.
