[Python-Dev] CPython Google Summer of Code mentors needed: deadline is tomorrow
Hi folks, Terri Oda's original message to this list about CPython's participation in Google Summer of Code 2014 is at the end of this email. If you'd like to see CPython participate in Google Summer of Code 2014, we need* at least 2 people* to say they are interested in mentoring by the end of today, February 13th. *Are you interested in mentoring? Please speak up!* This is not a binding commitment; this is just a statement of interest. As a previous GSoC mentor, I'd say the time commitment is around 10 hours / week per student, and this is best split across 2 mentors. GSoC FAQ: https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2014/help_page The current umbrella project pages: https://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/2014#Project_Ideas Last year's umbrella project pages: https://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/2013#Project_Ideas Last year's CPython project ideas: https://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/2013/python-core Regards, -Jessica === Terri's original message: For anyone who completely isn't familiar with this: Google Summer of Code is a program where Google pays students to work on open source projects for the summer. The motto goes: "Flip bits, not burgers." Google Summer of Code applications are open for mentoring organizations, and I've already put in Python's application. You can get more info here: https://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/2014 What I'd like to know is if anyone's got any good ideas for core python projects this year and are interested in mentoring. We always have lots of students who'd like to work on Python, but right now we don't have any mentors who are available and interested in helping students make contributions to the language (We do, however, have mentors for various python sub-projects). Let me know if this might be interesting to you. I'm happy to answer any questions, and I've got experienced mentors who aren't core python devs but who'd be willing to pair up so you wouldn't have to go it alone, just let me know! Terri PS - I'm also looking for new sub-projects and other mentors -- just ask if you want to take part this year! ___ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

Last summer I was unofficially a subject-matter committer-review mentor for the two GSOC students who worked on Idle tests. They were officially mentored by Todd Rovito, who handled everything else. I can imagine doing something similar (Idle project, with co-mentor) again. -- Terry Jan Reedy ___ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

Ok, you can count me as non-bindingly interested in co-mentoring :-) cheers Antoine. ___ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
[Python-Dev] Possible major bug with zipimport on Windows in Python 3.3.4
Can someone please take a look at http://bugs.python.org/issue20621 for me? It appears that there is a significant problem with zipimport in 3.3.4. It's causing breakage in virtualenv but I've isolated the issue to what I think is Python itself. Basically, until this bug is fixed, virtualenv won't work on Windows with Python 3.3.4, as far as I can tell.

Just checked that. No, it's not an issue in 3.4rc0. Nor is it in 3.3.3, so it's a regression in the 3.3 series only.
