I think the last one was a plain-ol-diff and this one is a svn diff so it is better. I have applied it and committed it. FYI, I normally do the svn diff at the same level that the setup.py resides in, but it is easy enough to correct for, > One last thing: is there some sort of tutorial for beginners who *may* want > to contribute.

In the svn trunk, there are a few documents in docs/devel (you need a fesh checkout to find it) that contain coding style guidelines, but they are rather incomplete. We are in the process of a documentation push, so we hope to add to these. Your questions are welcome, just batch them into just one or a few emails rather than a ton of individual ones. Perhaps one of your first projects can to write the "getting_started.rst" for the developer's guide as you learn the ropes. We can all pitch in with answers to your questions... In my experience, one of the best time to write introductory documentation is when you are learning something he first time, because the more seasoned developers have trouble approaching the subject from the perspective of a beginner.
