Update to GitHub Issue Forms
Note: This repo is for the Python devguide. If you are requesting an enhancement for the Python language or CPython interpreter, then the CPython issue tracker is better suited for this report: https://github.com/python/cpython/issues
Describe the enhancement or feature you'd like A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
When opening an issue you are greeted with this blob of text:
Details
but since the templates were made GitHub have introduced Issue Forms which, if we did a direct conversion would look like this:
Details
It would be nice to implement this. I would be up for working through changes and have a draft PR: https://github.com/python/devguide/pull/1414
Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered. Continue using current style
Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.
We get the benefit of section context, and markdown for the special admonition and text, without having to add it into a place that people need to delete (or can even edit directly)
Some prior art is https://github.com/python/pythondotorg/issues/new/choose, where I implemented this across all issue types in https://github.com/python/pythondotorg/pull/2571
I also added a config.yml that adds quicklinks to help lost people find their way. If there is interest I would be up for opening an issue and PR for that as well
Details
I like the idea and left a few comments on the draft PR!
[I initially misread and though this was about the cpython repo and transferred the issue to core-workflow, and now moved it back here :upside_down_face:]
Thank you for the suggestion and PR! Since it's been merged, I'll close the issue.
