Ask HN: What is a good Python project for a mid lv engineer to contribute to?

  Maybe Django or Certbot?

  Maybe just browse the npm packages that are popular. Find one you like and has open issues in Github.

    pypi?

      I'm not sure. I'm not very involved in that space, but that's my thought process of how I would approach the problem.

  Come help out with Apache Airflow! It's a great project to get involved with because it has a ton of users and real world problems, but it's still early enough that there's low hanging fruit in terms of adding functionality and improving existing code. A helpful place to start is the provider packages, since Airflow has integrations with so many 3rd party providers, and if you have knowledge in any of them it can be a good jumping off point. https://github.com/apache/airflow/ https://github.com/apache/airflow/

    As a user of airflow I certainly wouldn’t mind. Also ran into quite a few bugs while using it. Thanks for your work! Amazing project.

      It’s definitely got its rougher edges. When you come across bugs, even if you’re not in a place to submit a fix, it’s super helpful if you submit an issue with steps to reproduce or comment on an existing issue with your experience.
