=== Project Details ===

For this project the student will design and develop a REST API for bugs.python.org.
Even though this project is initially aimed to bugs.python.org, the plan is to eventually contribute the code upstream.
The project can also include simple applications that use the API (e.g. update the stats page, create a sample dashboard).

== 3. Use more unittest features in regrtest ==

CPython

CPython is the default, most widely used implementation of the Python programming language. It is mostly written in C, most of the modules are written in Python itself. In case you want to make the changes which will be used by all the Python programmers worldwide, this is the project to work for.

Contacting CPython developers

One can contact the core developers over IRC or using mailing lists. #python-dev (on freenode) is the channel for core developers, the core mentorship mailing list is the place to an email discussion. Remember that the developers are may not be in your timezone, so it might take time to get a reply from anyone.

Getting Started

The best place to get started is the devguide. You will find all the instructions required to build your own CPython. Before contacting the mentors, it is better you start solving few bugs first.

Ideas

We're still waiting to find out which mentors are available for Core Python/CPython projects. In the meantime, you can discuss ideas on the core mentorship mailing list.

1. bugs.python.org improvements

  • Project description: The goal of this project is to improve the bug tracker used by CPython.

  • Skills: Python, HTML/CSS/JS, Roundup, DVCS.

  • Difficulty level: Intermediate.

  • Related Readings/Links: The details are still being discussed on the core-workflow ML.

  • Potential mentors: Ezio Melotti.

Project Details

There are several different tasks that can be tackled.

Students can select a substantial subset of these tasks for their proposal. The actual tasks and the order can be discussed with the mentor.

2. Add a REST API to Roundup
