It's the typical svn-based development, "svn checkout" from the repository (see list of svn urls here: http://www.python.org/dev/faq/#how-do-i-get-a-checkout-of-the-repository-read-only-and-read-write), modify the files, then "svn diff" (or "diff -u") And last but not least, check out the dev-faq: http://www.python.org/dev/faq/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
