As I said some time ago, I'm very interested on this topic. I'm a fan of Boost, I already used Boost.Python and I'm a Numpy user. But I never had a look at the code behind Boost.Python, nor at the functions of the Numpy support. Alas, I cannot find any resources about this but the code itself. And lastly, I probably will be involved in another (similar) project for this GSoC.<div>
<br></div><div>I really hope that somebody will apply for this project; I will stay tuned, because I'm really interested on this. If nobody comes and I am actually eliged for the other project, I could propose myself as helper-developer (starting from next September...) for this set of features. I would be really proud to join the Boost team!</div>

Anyone considering to work on this, please get in touch !<br>
</div></blockquote>I would definitely like to be involved in this, and I can provide a lot of that "existing code". I'm not sure I can sign up as a full mentor at this point - I have a PhD thesis to write this summer that needs to take priority - but I'd certainly like to help.<br>
