Currently it is almost impossible to figure out where memory is going in a large python program, especially if you have C extensions loaded. It'd be nice to know where the memory is going, if there are circular references, or if objects are being held too long. * JythonProjects: Port IDLE from tk to swing, OS X improvements * Unicode on Windows extensions: add unicode returning versions of sys.argv and os.environ; unicode accepting functions for running processes like os.popen*, os.system, os.exec*. After experience implementing some of these, the implementer should look at ways to simplify coding functions that take either unicode or byte strings. The existing unicode method implementations such as open do not work in 32 bit unicode string builds so this could be fixed along with finding a way to make coding extension functions for either 16 or 32 bit wide unicode strings easier. -- Neil * Python web programming: PythonWebProgrammingIdeas * SpeedUpInterpreterStartup * RestrictedExecution * ./PythonGarbageCollected * ./WebServiceStack |

This page is aimed to be the starting point of collection for ideas for projects which could benefit the Python community, either projects that help the Python core, develop the standard library, third party packages, or more.
Ideally, each project should be expanded into a more full-featured description, so that people can judge the value, the effort involved, the size of the project (takes a week, takes a month, etc.), who knows enough about the project to help out, etc.

SimpleTodo: finite projects that improve (maybe just clean up) part of Python's implementation.
- Port standard library modules implemented in C to Python
This is basically what the PyPy project is doing. See their site for more details on what parts of the Python standard library have not yet been translated.
- fix some old, old bugs in sourceforge
- This is not a high profile, totally new idea, but maybe even helps the community more than founding another web framework
A better way to create (singlefile) executables by bringing the advantages of py2exe and McMillans compiler together.

- Enhance the Python catalog of modules
http://www.python.org/pypi -- contact Catalog-SIG for more.
- ratings (both automatic and user)
- admin interfaces
- new pydotorg look and feel
- fix and implement PEP 345
Auto-generate portions of a C extension module based off of a Python definition (e.g., create the function definitions, parsing of arguments, PyTypeObject fields, init function for module, etc.). Would use AST off of existing Python code. Would need some way to update a generating C extension module when Python file changes without destroying extension module (as presumably body of functions have been filled in).
