- I found TemPy via Up for Grabs, one of the sites suggested by Katrina Owen.
- I chose this project for its familiar and relatively simple code as well as its openness to small, basic contributions.
- It's a very active project - the latest commit was less than a day from the time of my typing here.
- After running a sample code from the readme, I decided to contribute by editing that part of the readme such that the given code and expected output more correctly matched.
Before creating and cloning the fork:
I copied the sample code for "basic usage" to test on IDLE, a Python 3.6 editor:
TemPy did not render the HTML as shown in the readme:
So I modified my copy to better reflect the expected output:
The updated code successfully rendered all the correct HTML tags in the desired order...
but getting it to render them in the structured format remained a mystery.
Still, it was enough of an improvement for me to proceed. I created and switched to a local branch,
found the section,
applied my changes,
committed, and pushed to my fork on GitHub:
With a readme that now has what should be a more accurate usage example, I made a pull request.
