Unfortunately, until now I was just a happy user of Python. I suppose some day 
I would have to give something back, and now is as good a day as any:-), but I 
have studied https://docs.python.org/devguide/ for a while and it seems really 
scary.

It means I have to install and get acquainted with Mercurial [BTW I thought 
Python was on git since this year, it seems PEP 481 was just wishful 
thinking:(], and probably with Visual Studio since I use Windows - and I have 
never successfully installed that (I have some weird academic Windows licence 
it doesn't like, and it seems really hard to install for a single non-admin 
user, which is a must since this is actually not my machine:).

So, let's put the cards on the table: if the idea of your post was to initiate 
me in the process of becoming a good open-source citizen, then I'll bite the 
bullet and try to do everything in my power to actually get my equipment into a 
state where I can contribute to Python - but it will take time. On the other 
hand, if the idea was to just fix the bug in time for 3.6b1, it would be a 
great deal simpler if you wrote the patch. :-/
