Python (or maybe JavaScript / Ruby): open source projects that will give me a (bit) of hand-holding [closed]

Ive been roaming around the interwebs looking for my first open-source project to contribute to - and most cool ones seem to be one-man bands on github, which I could fork - but wouldnt quite provide the code review etc. i think i want, so i can improve my python abilities.

Web.py, flask, celery, twisted etc look interesting - so far only the latter seems like a candidate for something I could properly contribute to, but even though im a decent(ish) python programmer, I think the whole event driven thing is probably too steep a learning curve for me to be able to contribute meaningfully for a while... so i'd probably like to start elsewhere.

Any suggestions?

btw. yes, there is a duplicate question here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/117561/what-are-good-open-source-projects-in-python-for-which-i-can-be-a-contributor - but it is two years old, I think it is fair to assume new stuff / projects will have emerged in the interim.

Thanks!

You could have a look and see if you find RCTK interesting to contribute to. I'm trying to be as pythonic as possible, it actually supports python 3 if you find that interesting, and even writing demo applications is considered very useful.

I (the head developer) currently already have two contributes whose code I review. This seems to work well.

Looking through the google summer of code proposals is a possibility -- not all the projects have been picked by students, and the organizations probably still would welcome anyone willing to work on them. Participating in gsoc is another option, of course!
