Hi,
My hg skills are still fairly basic, and I'm looking for somebody who
can mentor me (or at least point me in the right direction) with respect
to making the same change across multiple versions of Python.
I have just made a one-line change to the 3.6 (default) branch:
https://hg.python.org
I'm wondering if I've broken something at my end, or if everyone is
seeing the same error.
