Jython plans to participate in the Google Summer of Code for 2015. If you are interested, I have outlined a number of projects on our ideas page that students could work on:
- Work on JyNI, which adds C extension API support to Jython - Performance optimizations, including startup time - Python bytecode compiler for Python source (must be written in Java!) See https://github.com/jythontools/gsoc2015 for the ideas page. Pull requests and comments gladly accepted to expand this list of ideas. The ideal student must be a very strong Java developer, with an existing track record of projects on such sites as GitHub and BitBucket. Knowledge of C and especially of the CPython source code invariably helps. Ideally you will also become a Jython committer as a result of your intense participation this summer. Note that the deadline for student proposals is very soon, Friday March 27. I apologize we are just getting our participation for GSOC together, but we have also been busy finalizing the Jython 2.7.0 release candidate. -- - Jim jim.baker@{colorado.edu|python.org|rackspace.com|zyasoft.com} twitter.com/jimbaker github.com/jimbaker bitbucket.com/jimbaker
