pertinent information to be entered and submitted to the developers.

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!).

If the problem you're reporting is not already in the bug tracker, go back to
the Python Bug Tracker and log in. If you don't already have a tracker account,

top bar to open the issue reporting form.

The submission form has a number of fields. For the "Title" field, enter a

"Type" field, select the type of your problem; also select the "Component" and
"Versions" to which the bug relates.
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 bug report will be assigned to a developer who will determine what needs to
be done to correct the problem. You will receive an update each time action is
taken on the bug.
