Hey Mark,
I've spoken to "the boss" and she says it is fine for me to GSoC mentor
this year :)
I think we should let mtaylor know about this project though, there are
probably some Openstack resources that could be used for this too.
Could even be classed as a Stackforge project.
Kind Regards
Andrew

Andrew,
Do you think you could mentor a student doing it?

I started to write one for Libdrizzle Redux a while ago but didn't
get very far due to time limitations (I don't think I even have the
base code I created any more). Someone should totally do that.
Kind Regards

Hi!
I'm just back from the OpenStack Summit.
One session I attended was "The Xen of Eventlet". Eventlet is the
event-oriented library/framework used by much of the OpenStack
project.
Event oriented programming turns the techniques for network
programming
inside out: instead of making a call on a socket and blocking
until it
completes, you make a call on a socket, return immediately, and
then get
an event when it's done.
One of the severe pain points is that the standard MySQL client
module
for Python links to libmysql, and cannot be used in this way.
I know that the Node.JS people use libdrizzle and have written a
wrapper
module around it, mainly *because* libdrizzle can be used this way.
So what the Python and OpenStack world needs is a eventlet-capable
Python module wrapped around libdrizzle.
This sounds like an awesome GSoC project. Now we just need a
student
and a mentor who are comfortable enough with Python events to
write it.
Any takers?
