Reimplementing existing C modules in Cython might, however, be more

I think that's a great idea. Would you be willing to mentor such a
project.
As usual, I'm not sure I'll have the time, but if no-one else steps up,
I'd
consider it.
Should we sign up with the PSF GSoC umbrella to officially propose this
project?

Do we have any other topics for the GSoC this year? We'd be just in time if
we discuss this at the workshop, although somewhat late already. The student
application deadline is from March 28 to April 8.

There's always our enhancements page, but some of those are fairly
advanced. I think this'd be a really good GSoC project, very modular,
and doesn't require getting to know the internals of the compiler to
start making a serious contribution (at least not right away, I'm sure
bugs and optimizations will be submitted).
Well, almost certainly bugs will be found, at least, and if we get a fix as
well, I'd be the more happy. :)
I'm willing to (co?)-mentor. Stefan? Craig? With the three of us we
could easily mentor at least one student, and perhaps two (if another
really solid proposal/student comes up).
+1, splitting this will make it easier for everyone. And there will be
support from the lists anyway.
Anyone else willing to
mentor? I haven't pushed on GSoC much this year yet because no one's
stepped up to mentor, but there's still ample time on our side.
Ok, want to sign up the Cython project then?
What became of the Sage proposal, BTW? Will they give a compiled stdlib a try?
Stefan
