Hi I'm a Python Developer (& Data Scientist) and I contributed to Debian[1][2] last year as a part of Google Summer of Code[3]. Having used Lucene, Kafka and Spark in the past, I wanted to work on at least one of them this summer. Since Spark uses Python[4] (API) unlike the others, I felt I could genuinely contribute to the project. I haven't raised any PRs in the Spark project yet but given the fact that GSoC doesn't begin until May, I can familiarise myself with the codebase as well as my tasks for GSoC well in time.
Would appreciate if someone could mentor by helping pick a Python feature that I could add over the course of GSoC or any bugs I can fix from the JIRA page. In the meantime, are there any Python issues I can get started with?
