Comment: Moving fatoptimizer to the top of the list, since it has the most active mentor at the moment. Removing empty project template since it seems unlikely that we'll get new projects at this stage.

1. FAT Python
Project description: FAT Python is a new static optimizer for CPython 3.6. It specializes functions using guards. Specialization is a new feature (PEP 510) which allows to implement new kinds of optimizations like loop unrolling and function inlining. The goal of the GSoC is to implement new optimizations in fatoptimizer to prove that the design allows to really make CPython faster. Then maybe also help on the low-level parts like fat (guards implemened in C) and help to finish the work on PEPs 509 (dict version), PEP 510 (specialization) and PEP 511 (API for AST optimizers).
Skills: know how a compiler works, know compiler optimizations especially static optimizations
Difficulty level: Hard
Related Readings/Links: http://fatoptimizer.readthedocs.org/en/latest/gsoc.html
Potential mentors: Victor Stinner
2. Roundup
Project description: Work on Roundup, http://bugs.python.org/ to improve github integration, etc.
Skills: python, git
Difficulty level: Intermediate
Related Readings/Links: https://mail.python.org/mailman/private/core-mentorship/2016-February/003422.html
Potential mentors: Terry, David, Stephen
3. A gui (tkinter) front end for pip
Project description: Many users are not familiar with the command line and thus find difficulties using and accessing PIP. This project would involve creating interactive menus to help guide new users through the process of installing packages using PIP. https://bugs.python.org/issue23551 contains preliminary design ideas.
Such a visual tool would be extremely useful, and I would make it accessible from IDLE. Once a basic version were written, the additional feature set for the project could be adjusted to fit the time remaining.
Skills: python, usability, pip
Difficulty level: Intermediate
Related Readings/Links: https://bugs.python.org/issue23551
Potential mentors: Terry, ??
