Hello, and thanks for your contribution!

I'm a bot set up to make sure that the project can legally accept your contribution by verifying you have signed the PSF contributor agreement (CLA).

Unfortunately we couldn't find an account corresponding to your GitHub username on bugs.python.org (b.p.o) to verify you have signed the CLA (this might be simply due to a missing "GitHub Name" entry in your b.p.o account settings). This is necessary for legal reasons before we can look at your contribution. Please follow the steps outlined in the CPython devguide to rectify this issue.

You can check yourself to see if the CLA has been received.

Thanks again for your contribution, we look forward to reviewing it!

Just created an account an bugs.python.org (made sure to specify github account name) and signed the PSF. Are the other components required for minor changes in the docs, or is that solely for code modifications?

Hi @aeros167. Thanks for the PR. It looks as if the tests are failing on the documentation build due to trailing whitespace in line 34. Please review and update the PR.

When the tests all pass and the CLA status icon changes to signed (may take a few days), feel free to @-mention me and I'll take another look at the PR.

@willingc The CLA status is now approved. I hadn't realized that I needed to perform the CLA check manually in order for it to be updated on existing pull requests. Good to know for other projects which may have similar prerequisites.

I also removed the white space at the end of line 34. The only tests that aren't passing now are the labeling related tests, which likely wouldn't be relevant for small doc changes. Thanks for letting me know.

For future pull requests, was this one appropriately sized? I tried to avoid making it too small by improving parts of the section instead of a single sentence, but I didn't want to make changes across the entire doc for my first pull request to the project. I have some experience with writing/editing technical documentation, but I'm entirely new with contributing to large open source projects on GitHub. I've heard that smaller commits are generally preferable.

Thanks @aeros167 for the corrections and the PR. You are correct that smaller pull requests are generally favored. As an FYI the devguide has helpful sections on documentation and the development process. I encourage you to look at documentation issues on bugs.python.org as we would appreciate help with those issues. ☀️
