if you are not only a beginner at OpenSource development, but also have no experience with Python (or programming in general), you 
should consider taking on a "documentation" bug first instead (see 
https://openhatch.org/search/?contribution_type=documentation&q=&project=SCons for example).
It looks to me as if this issue 2494 is more complicated than you can handle at the moment.
