Hey, I am new to Open Source Contributions. Can anyone assign it to me?
I am willing to do this, need help and guidance to start my open-source contribution journey.

Hi @m3tal10 , nice you are willing to help out. We typically do not assign issues to people, but you can start working on the issue and open a PR. Just post a message here you started working on the topic, so other contributors won't start on the same issue.
You can find more information on how to contribute on https://devguide.python.org/. If you need more help, then discourse.python.org is a good place to ask for help.
Also note that a PR has already been opened: #126337. A good start to open source contributions can also be to review the PR and learn from it.

I would advise to wait for #126337 to be merged, to avoid conflicts. That's the problem with refactoring, conflicts get messy. That's why a created an issue in the first place, and not a PR.
