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.
I will start the implementation of json module right now. I created my
github account and as soon as I have code implemented I will send repository
link.
Any news on this? We're currently discussing which of the Cython-related
projects to mentor. It's likely that not all of our projects will get
accepted, so if you could get us a good initial idea about your work, we'd
have a stronger incentive to value yours over the others.
