== Verifying bugs ==
Often, someone will report a bug, but nobody will want to work on a patch for it until the bug is confirmed. Thus, confirming a bug is a big step towards getting it fixed.
If you can reproduce a bug, here's an ideal triage comment:
# Say that you can reproduce the bug.
# Reiterate what you expected to happen, and what actually happened.
# Enumerate the steps you took to reproduce the problem. Include a complete transcript, including the commands you ran, Python code you entered at the interpreter, tracebacks, etc. If the output is very long, for readability, attach it to the ticket instead of putting it directly in the comment.
# List all versions of Python in which the bug was and wasn't present for you.
# List all operating systems on which the bug was and wasn't present for you.
# Attach a short, standalone program that reproduces the bug to the ticket. This will be a helpful basis for writing test cases.
