Below is my proposal , i would be grateful if someone reviewed it.
Name: Prakash Email Address: thegr8.prak...@gmail.com Freenode IRC Nick: prakash_01 Location (City, Country and/or Time Zone): Jamshedpur , India , GMT +5:30 Proposal Title: Python backend for Cantor Goal: The project aims a python backend for Cantor as Cantor lacks one. Motivation for Proposal : The primary reason for choosing this project was that since Cantor is so versatile , it needs to have the powerful python language and its libraries included to truly increase the scope of Cantor. Python would significantly enhance the potential uses of Cantor. Implementation Details: I plan to use a communication tool between python and Cantor from the available libraries. The tool of communication may be : Pyrex - writes extension module on Python CXX - PyCXX - helper lib for writing Python extensions in C++ SCXX PicklingTools - a collection of libraries for exchanging Python Dictionaries between C++ and Python. ackward - exposes parts of Python's standard library as idiomatic C++ Tentative Timeline (in weekly intervals until 2 weeks after the end of GSoC): Till May 21 : Go through the Cantor codebase and get to know how the existing features work together. Work on a few bugs and read the documentation. Also , relevant API's will be researched and overview will be planned for the coding to follow. First week : Create configure screen to Python in Cantor. Secend week : Initial Communication between Cantor python backend and Python . Third-Sixth week : Management Charting and Graphic information exchange between Cantor and Python. Seventh-Tenth week : Syntax highlighting for Python Eleventh-Twelfth week : Auto-Completion for Python functions Twelfth week onwards : Test the code and fix the required bugs and hopefully continue contributing to the project after Gsoc :) . Obligations from late May to early August :My college is resuming in august and i will be able to devote 7-8 hours(atleast) as i have no other commitments during that time. I've made sure in the tentative timeline that just a fraction of coding work is left for the end , when the classes begin so I'm positive that my classes dont hinder the project progress . About Me (let us know who you are!): I am Prakash , an undergraduate student of Electrical and Electronics Engineering . I am from Jamshedpur , India . I am a FOSS enthusiast and even though i have no relevant expirience in this field , i've been aware and interested in software development. I started coding when since class 8th , when i got my first PC and i've been in love with programming ever since. I was inclined towards mathematics so i started learning algorithms . When i adopted the opensource Os , i came to know about and in turn Cantor and i loved the concept of a universal platform for scentific comuting and analysis. Even though i am new , i will make up for that with the desire to learn . Right now its the only thing i really want to gain .
