This page coordinates the Google Summer of Code projects involving Python and mentored by the Python Software Foundation (PSF) in 2009.
The 2009 PSF SoC coordinator is ArcRiley <arcriley@gmail.com>. Contact him if you have any questions.
Prospective Students
If you are a student interested in working on core Python development or on a project that helps the Python community, we'd love to have you apply to the Python Software Foundation for this year's Google Summer of Code.
You should join the soc2009-general mailing list and take a look at the Project Ideas section below. If any interest you, feel free to contact the proposer for details. You can also discuss your own project ideas with the people mentioned or talk about them on the soc2009-general mailing list. Some of us also hang out on #gsoc-python on freenode.
Students should read SummerOfCode/Expectations to understand what is expected of them.
Project Ideas
These are project ideas proposed by mentors grouped roughly on the type of work it entails. Use the provided links for each for more information and contact the mentors interested in it.

Mentor Instructions
Please be careful with the above table, at the cost of a little syntax headache this is much more presentable to potential students. While you may just link to your own ideas page you're more likely to attract students by offering your projects directly in this index.
Core Python: working with Python's standard library and included modules
Education: projects that promote Python in education
Development: tools used for development including compilers and IDEs
Games: projects working with game engines
MathSci: tools used in math and science
