What We Are Going To Do

Guido has requested that the AST branch please be finished for Python 2.5 . Sprint on the AST branch has also become a tradition since the first sprint at PyCon 2003. Here is a rough list of what needs to be worked on:

* applying patches from SF

* Get generator expression working

* Get decorators working

* Work out bugs (including memory leaks)

* Flesh out docs on AST

Preparing

To get ready for the sprint, get a CVS checkout of the 'ast-branch'. How to do get a tagged branch, see the Python Dev FAQ @ http://www.python.org/dev/devfaq.html .

Once you have a checkout, read Python/compile.txt . That gives an overview of what files are involved and how the basic process works.

* Brett Cannon

* Neal Norwitz (maybe)

Is a pythonite with very little hacking-CPython experience of any use? -- Timothy Fitz Sure! Part of the point of the sprints is to teach people about what is being sprinted on in hopes of them continuing to contribute long after the sprint is over. I just can't make any guarantees about entertainment value. =) -- Brett C.
