Python core hacking
If you're new to working on the CPython interpreter, the SimpleTodo page lists some smaller projects.
AndrewKuchling is on the committee trying to choose a new bug tracker for Python, following the CallForTrackers. At the sprint, I'll let interested Python developers play with the four candidate trackers and offer their opinions.

Sprint Accomplishments: July 28-30, 2006
AndrewKuchling added many, many examples to the library reference.
- Kevin Cole started a detailed review of the Python Tutorial.
FredDrake removed the xmlcore package, leaving only the xml package found in previous releases. Tests were added that check for some of the problems that provoked the removal. This resolves (at least) 1511497 and 1513611, and obsoletes 1504456.
Fixed 1193966 (weakref documentation cleanup for extension types).
- Various minor documentation cleanups.
Tom Hoffman and Alan Elkner refactored Tom's tinyzis project, removing redundant code and adding functional tests. ZIS (Zone Integration Server) is part of the Schools Interoperability Framework (SIF) with will eventually be used to allow SchoolTool to talk to moodle.
- Interns William, Will, Robbie, and Linda worked on the skilldriver package which allows the creations of assignments that utilise competencies.
JeffreyElkner completed updating the 1st 9 chapters of the second edition of How to Think Like a Computer Scientist: Learning with Python (http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/thinkCS/python/english2e/html).
PaulCarduner and Eldar Omuraliev enhanced the journal package so each student can have a separate journal for each of their sections. A new CanDo skin was also made for overriding schooltool's actions menu layout. Work began on a more intuitive competencies editor with flexible tree layout.
- Competency Gradebook was enhanced with javascript cell navigation
