searching a project to contribute to

2005-10-09 Thread Clint Norton
Hi all,
I'm a student currently in the beginning of my master's degree and
I'm searching for an interesting open source project written in Python
to contribute to.
I have worked as a programmer for the past few years (mostly in
academia but also as a typical full time code monkey in a commercial
company), some of it in python, some in Java (commercial companies
really seem to like Java).
Anyway, which python projects would be a good start? I generally
like working on algorithmic parts or "Business Logic" and really don't
like doing interface work. The software I like producing has a tendency
to make use of the random and/or math modules, if that says something
about the nature of the work I've done... I really want to give
something back to the community I've taken so much from in the past.

Thanks in advance.

BTW do yourself a favor and learn to use the cmd module:

2 nice examples:

it will also give you command completion if your termianl supports it
(most terminals on most linux distros do).

Well,
I though about it but I'm looking for something a little more
interesting then bug fixing...
Anyway, wouldn't it be to difficult to get into a huge project like
python itself? Wouldn't it be a better idea to walk into a project that
only have a few developers in it?
I was thinking of the mozilla calender project (which is usfull and
i think is the smallest mozilla project) but I'm not really into c++.
Maybe I should take a look at some of the modules I've used and see if
I can help there.

Thanks,
CN
