Some quick points: - Python ships with extensive regression tests--use (and possibly augment) those to test your work rather than writing your own. - Three modules for a whole summer seems a bit weak, especially for someone who already knows Cython. Target at least one module/week seems like a good pace; some will be quickies, others might take 40+ hours. And I guarantee you'll get better and faster with practice. - Now that generators are supported, it could also be interesting to look at compiling all the non-C modules and fixing exposed bugs if any, but that might be out of scope. What I'd like to see is an implementation of a single simple but not entirely trivial (e.g. not math) module, passing regression tests with comprable if not better speed than the current C version (though I think it'd probably make sense to start out with the Python version and optimize that). E.g. http://docs.python.org/library/json.html looks like a good candidate. That should only take 8 hours or so, maybe two days at most, given your background. I'm not expecting anything before the application deadline, but if you could whip something like this out in the next week to point to that would help your application out immensely. In fact, one of the Python foundation's requirements is that students submit a patch before being accepted, and this would knock out that requirement and give you a chance to prove yourself. Create an account on https://github.com and commit your code into a new repository there. Hope that helps. - Robert > 2011/4/7 Arthur de Souza Ribeiro <arthurdesribe...@gmail.com> >> >> I've wrote a proposal to the project: Reimplement C modules in CPython's >> standard library in Cython. >> I'd be glad if you could take a look a it and give me your feedback. >> the link for the proposal is: http://wiki.cython.org/arthursribeiro >> Thank you. >> Best Regards >> Arthur > > _______________________________________________ > cython-devel mailing list > cython-devel@python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cython-devel > > _______________________________________________ cython-devel mailing list cython-devel@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cython-devel
