This comes in a bit of a hurry (you only have time until next monday to sign up), but here's the deal:
The next version of ipython (0.7.2, "out soon", pretty much done already) will include an extension for browsing and manipulating tabular data (e.g. file name, file size, permissions etc.) called "ipipe", contributed by Walter Doerwald. See http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/wiki/UsingIPipe to get an idea. The bad news is that, being built on curses, the browser only works on Linux/posix. That's where you'll step in. We need a similar tabular browser built on wxPython toolkit (possibly with the Wax wrapper library). Walter and me have already been accepted as mentors, but we need someone to do the work. As you probably know, there's money involved, see http://code.google.com/soc/studentfaq.html. No knowledge of IPython codebase is necessary (nor will you need to learn it), and the ipipe module itself is pretty manageable and small. So it's mostly about implementing new stuff from scratch. Please contact ipython-dev, me or (preferably) Walter Doerwald ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) if you are interested, ASAP. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
