Possibilities include:

• Implementing PEPs
  • PEP 328 absolute/relative import
  • PEP 341 unifying try/except and try/finally
  • PEP 343 implementation ('with:')
  • PEP 308 implementation ('x if y else z')
  • PEP 302 suggestions (implementing sys.meta_path objects for built-in, frozen, and sys.path importers; search for "phase 2" in the PEP)
• AST work
  • export AST to Python
    • Basic pychecker functionality
  • rewrite peepholer to use AST instead of modifying bytecode directly (where applicable)
  • rewrite ast.c and compile.c to use arena memory management to cut out memory leaks
• Patch/bug processing
  • Incorporate PEP content into the LaTeX docs

  • Bugs to look at: 777884 (needs ruling from an XML/minidom maintainer)

  • Patches to look at: 686545 (mailbox modification -- SoC-supported work)
