There's always our enhancements page, but some of those are fairly advanced. I think this'd be a really good GSoC project, very modular, and doesn't require getting to know the internals of the compiler to start making a serious contribution (at least not right away, I'm sure bugs and optimizations will be submitted). I'm willing to (co?)-mentor. Stefan? Craig? With the three of us we could easily mentor at least one student, and perhaps two (if another really solid proposal/student comes up). Anyone else willing to mentor? I haven't pushed on GSoC much this year yet because no one's stepped up to mentor, but there's still ample time on our side. - Robert _______________________________________________ cython-devel mailing list cython-devel@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cython-devel
