* 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)
