Hi all,

once again, the PSF has been accepted as a mentoring foundation for
the Google
Summer of Code! This year, we're going to emphasize python 3 porting, so
please think of projects you'd like to see tackled.

Hi,


Does this mean that any other python project could potentially see
itself ported to Python 3 in the course of this SoC ?

The theme should include both general porting tools and specific projects, especially infrastructure projects like numeric, which are blocking the porting of other projects. It would be nice if those doing specific projects contributed their experience/knowledge to a central pool.

If so, can any project owner submit a request for help,

Any project owner is *always* free to ask for help (on python-list, but now here in this thread). Those who can also mentor might be more likely to get it. If I were a student, I would consider serious interest from a project owner (and a promise to distribute a port, when ready), a prerequisite.

sort be put in place ?

Like most contributors, students choose projects, within the limits of what they can get mentors for, that scratch their itches. They may or may not otherwise be swayed by requests and opinions.

My views.
