Dear Rahul, good to hear you can build from source now.
Can you make sure to run configure with --enable-python, then check the examples in the directory src/optional/python-bindings/example_scripts whether you can run them as described in the files, respectively? This should give you a first feeling on how python programming of gnucash will look like. On another note, you can try the pygtk http://www.pygtk.org library to see how creating gtk GUI elements will look like in python. In your GSoC project, you can either try to add new GUI elements into gnucash using python and pygtk, such as a new interface to certain tasks that you need to do yourself but where you don't like the GUI right now. Or you can rather do some non-GUI coding with python, such as preparing and writing a text report for some numbers throughout gnucash. On the mailing list we've already received a patch that will add a python module into gnucash itself. The current optional/python-bindings is only a temporary solution in case one wants to write external python scripts, but again, it's a good first step for you to see what it will look like.
