If you are working on Jython it is very possible you will come across an issue where you need some assistance to solve it (this happens to core developers all the time).
Should you require help, there are a :ref:`variety of options available <communication>` to seek assistance. If the question involves process or tool usage then please check the rest of this guide first as it should answer your question.
If you are interested in improving Jython and contributing to its development, but don’t yet feel entirely comfortable with the public channels mentioned above, Python Mentors may be there to help you. The Python Mentors list was originally created to help with CPython development, but since Jython an implementation acknowledgef by the PSF, it may be a good place to find help for Jython as well. Python is fortunate to have a community of volunteer core developers willing to mentor anyone wishing to contribute code, work on bug fixes or improve documentation. Everyone is welcomed and encouraged to contribute.
Further options for seeking assistance include the jython-users and
jython-dev mailing lists.
Jython-users contains discussion of software developement using Jython.
Jython-dev contains discussion of current Jython design
issues, release mechanics, and maintenance of existing releases. Just remember
that jython-dev is for questions involving the development of Jython
whereas jython-users is for questions concerning development with Jython.
If you strongly suspect you have stumbled on a bug (be it in the build process, in the test suite, or in other areas), then open an issue on the Jython GitHub repository. As with every bug report it is strongly advised that you detail which conditions triggered it (including the OS name and version, which JVM and version, and what you were trying to do), as well as the exact error message you encountered.
