Python is a popular high-level programming language. It is a general-purpose language used by scientists, developers, and many others who want to get things done quickly and effectively. In this spirit, many of our projects this year are about helping make Python faster!

If you're [[https://wiki.gnome.org/Outreachy#Eligibility|part of a group that is underrepresented in open source communities]] and available for a full-time (40h/week) paid internship working on Python from December 6, 2016 and March 6, 2017, please consider applying by October 17th, 2016.

== Ideas ==

Our primary mentor has offered up 3 ideas that she's most excited about:

 1. Develop a unified performance benchmark suite that’s acceptable for both Cpython & PyPy communities.

 2. Analyze the GUPB(Grand Unified Python Benchmarks) for which PyPy’s performance is worse than CPython and see if there is any scope for improvement ( ex: try and replicate cpython methodology)

 3. Improving JitViewer(profiling tool for pypy) – capable to attach to a running process.
