It really depends on what you want to do, what your interests are, etc.
Fedora infrastructure uses a lot of Python software which you could
contribute to. There is a list of "easy fixes" [1]. Most projects are
hosted on github, so you basically just need a github account, clone/fork
the repo, fix the issue and create a PR.

Hello Rajeshkumar and thank you for your interest to contribute.

As the previous poster said, it really depends on your interests. Fedora's python-sig
group
is usually focused on packaging python software, so basically working with SPEC files and
the various intricacies around python software in order to produce rpm's for users to
install.

Fedora however has many of its infrastructure pieces written in python, and contributions
to it are always welcome. Many other core components of the operating system are written
in python as well, like dnf, abrt, the anaconda installer etc.

You can check this page as well: https://whatcanidoforfedora.org/en

In general, it is up to you to decide where you would like to focus your energy and skills
on
and after that we can guide you further. Do not hesitate to ask if you have any more
questions.
