Trying out a new editor

Currently trying out a new (new to me) Code Editor named Atom (https://atom.io/).

so far I'm really liking that it's got  built in version control via Git and GitHub

it's got a really intuitive GUI right off the bat,

Intro screen on the right and center and on the left is an open project
It's also really nice that you can add IDE functionality to it, making it capable of pretty much anything, the theme is also customizable if you don't like such a dark theme

the flow of atom is really nice too being able to adjust the window size as needed

 installing or modifying the theme is super easy too.






 the tab functionality is superb as well




IDE installation took a little while (~2 min) but it was really easy too with the search function

#Python-dev: adding pathlike functionality

Image
https://bugs.python.org/issue32642 https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/5691 I've been working with the import library, adding a pathlike object function for sys.path, after making some changes I needed to run "make regen-importlib" to update the importlib_external.h, to allow the changes to go through since I'm modifying a core lib. after testing some I realized something was off, considering one of the tests was taking over 41 hours to complete, I started off by checking for conflicts to see if I was behind on some update they may have done to fix this down the line.... turns out my import library source code (not the .h) was out of date from the current version which caused a merge conflict in on the PR, which also caused appveyor to break, I fixed it easily by using Atom and clicking the "fix  conflict button, which created a dropdown menu of which one to keep, "use ours" vs "use theirs", then after selecting the appropriate one...

#Python-dev: Starting to contribute to (c)python

 Python Dev   I recently started trying to contribute to python (aka python-dev), so far I've found the IRC is #python-dev, the way that I've been getting there is by using freenode , (you can also get there by searching freenode and clicking the "chat" button), I have noticed that the IRC channel can get you some help but, I've had mixed results I got a response for my first question but after that I didn't get a response (your millage may vary) I also discovered that Cygwin (a bash terminal within windows) isn't fully supported by cpython I also found this mailing list , that I've signed up for and I've already received some emails, so far I've emailed to python-dev@python.org, that apparently sends an email to ALL members, I don't know if this is a good way to reach them as I only sent this email yesterday and haven't gotten a response.  I just posted a bug about what I'm experiencing since running the test command res...

Working on my first open source bug/request

The bug I've been focusing on first is https://github.com/mozilla/network/issues/798 it's not technically a bug as much as it is removing unused code from the old API that they used before, I tried setting up the build environment on my Windows laptop but quickly came across issues with setting up the actual virtual environment for python. I switched to my Ubuntu laptop and everything went smoothly after, I could go back and setup the windows env now since I do understand what went wrong after successfully getting it to work on Ubuntu. The person that posted that bug is suuuper nice and so far been really helpful with my questions for familiarizing myself with a new system. issue is now I realized I forgot to make a branch before starting my work so I'm wondering how I'll resolve this issue if it is one.  I tried pushing the new branch to the repo and discovered that I don't have permission to directly commit to it so I forked it and pushed to that and now ...
