Infrastructure

This section documents the infrastructure behind the Python project itself: the python.org website, the bug tracker, the build farm, and proposals for improving all of them. Most of these pages reflect work done during the 2005-2015 era, when the community was actively redesigning python.org and transitioning its issue tracker. They are preserved here as historical record.
