[Twisted-Python] Possible bug

[Chris Norman]

Hi,
I've used git extensively, and I can soon read up on how to contribute 
on git. So what's the next step? Is there a howto somewhere on the 
Twisted site?

Cheers,

>>> There's a ticket athttps://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/8025#ticket  which makes all the tests pass on the platform; I just need to work on it some more. I expect Twisted 16.0 to have base support for Python 3 on Windows.
