+************************
+Reporting Bugs in Python
+************************
+
+Python is a mature programming language which has established a reputation for
+stability. In order to maintain this reputation, the developers would like to
+know of any deficiencies you find in Python.
+
+Bug reports should be submitted via the Python Bug Tracker
+(http://bugs.python.org/). The bug tracker offers a Web form which allows
+pertinent information to be entered and submitted to the developers.
+
+The first step in filing a report is to determine whether the problem has
+already been reported. The advantage in doing so, aside from saving the
+developers time, is that you learn what has been done to fix it; it may be that
+the problem has already been fixed for the next release, or additional
+information is needed (in which case you are welcome to provide it if you can!).
+To do this, search the bug database using the search box on the top of the page.
+
+If the problem you're reporting is not already in the bug tracker, go back to
+the Python Bug Tracker. If you don't already have a tracker account, select the
+"Register" link in the sidebar and undergo the registration procedure.
+Otherwise, if you're not logged in, enter your credentials and select "Login".
+It is not possible to submit a bug report anonymously.
+
+Being now logged in, you can submit a bug. Select the "Create New" link in the
+sidebar to open the bug reporting form.
+
+The submission form has a number of fields. For the "Title" field, enter a
+*very* short description of the problem; less than ten words is good. In the
+"Type" field, select the type of your problem; also select the "Component" and
+"Versions" to which the bug relates.
+
+In the "Comment" field, describe the problem in detail, including what you
+expected to happen and what did happen. Be sure to include whether any
+extension modules were involved, and what hardware and software platform you
+were using (including version information as appropriate).
+
+Each bug report will be assigned to a developer who will determine what needs to
+be done to correct the problem. You will receive an update each time action is
+taken on the bug.

+ `How to Report Bugs Effectively <http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html>`_
+ Article which goes into some detail about how to create a useful bug report.
+ This describes what kind of information is useful and why it is useful.
+
+ `Bug Writing Guidelines <http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Bug_writing_guidelines>`_
+ Information about writing a good bug report. Some of this is specific to the
+ Mozilla project, but describes general good practices.
