I have two ideas under one big important topic: make numpy python3 compatible.
The first fits pretty well with the grant size and nobody wants to do it for free: - fix our text IO functions under python3 and support multiple encodings, not only latin1. Reasonably simple to do, slap encoding arguments on the functions, generate test cases and somehow keep backward compatibility. Some prelimary unfinished work is in https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/4208 - add ascii/latin1 dtype to support a compact python3 string array, deprecate 's' dtype which has different meaning in python2 and 3 This one is probably too big for 3k though.
