Thank you very much, Fijal . I read docs of pypy today and I found there is detailed introduction about test. Sorry for that careless question.

And how about the bug? I don't know which one is beginner-friendly. Or may I submit a little piece of code about the idea instead of a bug-fixing?

Also, I find that a developer has already written a COW list slice and pulled it, so maybe it's better for me to choose another idea. After some consideration, I decide to take the Unicode Optimization. So, how can I contact the potential mentor of this idea?

Regards,
Yule

Dear developers,

I'm a student interested in the idea of copy-on-write list slicing.

I noticed that on the PSF's GSoC wiki, students are suggested to fix a
beginner-friendly bug, but after some searching, I eventually failed in
finding some appropriate ones. May you help me about this?

Another question is about building pypy. I'm novice in pypy's
implementation, so I decide to modify it's source code to help me understand
it clearly. But it's really slow to build pypy. According to the pypy doc, I
use this command to build it:

pypy rpython/bin/rpython --opt=jit pypy/goal/targetpypystandalone.py

It takes about an hour to complete on my computer. Then I modify a file,
adding only one line. But rebuilding through this command also takes an
hour. Is there any faster way to rebuild pypy with little modification?
You don't rebuild pypy for each change. Instead you write tests (which
we have in abundance) that are in various test/ subdirectories that
can be run untranslated.

Cheers,
fijal
