 * Implement one of the namespace speed-up PEPs ([http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0266.html 266], [http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0267.html 267], or [http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0280.html 280]) or anything else to help prevent Guido from getting a pie in the face. =)  * Implement one of the namespace speed-up PEPs ([[http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0266.html|266]], [[http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0267.html|267]], or [[http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0280.html|280]]) or anything else to help prevent Guido from getting a pie in the face. =)

Four of the guys from Pythonlabs are going to be at the sprint on plan on sprint on *something*. This is all being led by Guido, but he is busy and has no specific ideas of what to sprint on. If you have any, please list them below.

  • Close as many bugs on SF as possible.
  • Implement one of the namespace speed-up PEPs (266, 267, or 280) or anything else to help prevent Guido from getting a pie in the face. =)

  • My pet bug is reliable signal handling when using event loops like PyGTK. I think an extra C-level hook in the core would make it possible to do this right. (At the moment, SIGINT/KeyboardInterrupt is blocked until python regains control). I'd be interested in participating in an effort to fix this one. - PyConBrianWarner

  • Free threading (which has been asked for almost as long as namespace speed-ups :-) - Thomas Wouters)

  • Work on the AST branch (will make Jeremy happy =)
  • Fix rexec. (I happen to think it has potential and is worth saving). - Brian Warner
  • Fully document classes, both classic and new-style
  • make _p_changed=1 after changing a list or a dictionary unnecessary (ZODB) - Thomas Guettler <guettli@thomas-guettler.de>

  • Implement CALL_ATTR to speed up method calling
  • Make the profiler support threads
  • Implement a new I/O library
  • Start work on new sockets interface as mentioned by Guido on python-dev (email at http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2003-March/034042.html )

Sprinters so far:

  • Guido van Rossum (coach)
  • Jeremy Hylton
  • Tim Peters
  • Brett Cannon
  • Ka-Ping Yee
  • Thomas Wouters
  • Neil Schemenauer
  • Aahz
  • Neal Norwitz

Projects chosen so far:

  • CALL_ATTR (Thomas, Brett)
  • speed up new-class instance attribute lookup using a cache (Ping, Aahz)
  • AST branch (Jeremy, Tim, Neil)

A summary of the speedup sprint work is in my blog: http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=4396 --Guido
