Hi Stefan, yes, I'm working on this, in fact I'm trying to recompile json module (<a href="http://docs.python.org/library/json.html" target="_blank">http://docs.python.org/library/json.html</a>) adding some type definitions and cython things o get the code faster.<div>
<br></div><div>I'm getting in trouble with some things too, I'm going to enumerate here so that, you could give me some tips about how to solve them.</div><div><br></div><div>1 - Compile package modules - json module is inside a package (files: __init__.py, decoder.py, encoder.py, decoder.py) is there a way to generate the cython modules just like its get generated by cython?</div>
<div><br></div><div>2 - Because I'm getting in trouble with issue #1, I'm running the tests manually, I go to %Python-dir%/Lib/tests/json_tests, get the files corresponding to the tests python make and run manually.</div>
<div><br></div><div>3 - To get the performance of the module, I'm thinking about to use the timeit function in the unit tests for the project. I think a good number of executions would be made and it would be possible to compare each time.</div>
<div><br></div><div>4 - I didn't create the .pxd files, some problems are happening, it tells methods are not defined, but, they are defined, I will try to investigate this better</div>
<div><br></div><div>The code is in this repository: <a href="https://github.com/arthursribeiro/JSON-module" target="_blank">https://github.com/arthursribeiro/JSON-module</a> your feedback would be very important, so that I could improve my skills to get more and more able to work sooner in the project.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I think some things implemented in this rewriting process are going to be useful when doing this with C modules...</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you very much.</div>

What I'd like to see is an implementation of a single simple but not<div><br>
entirely trivial (e.g. not math) module, passing regression tests with<br>
comprable if not better speed than the current C version (though I<br>
think it'd probably make sense to start out with the Python version<br>
and optimize that). E.g. <a href="http://docs.python.org/library/json.html" target="_blank">http://docs.python.org/library/json.html</a><br>
looks like a good candidate. That should only take 8 hours or so,<br>
maybe two days at most, given your background. I'm not expecting<br>
anything before the application deadline, but if you could whip<br>
something like this out in the next week to point to that would help<br>
your application out immensely. In fact, one of the Python<br>
foundation's requirements is that students submit a patch before being<br>
accepted, and this would knock out that requirement and give you a<br>
chance to prove yourself. Create an account on <a href="https://github.com" target="_blank">https://github.com</a> and<br>
commit your code into a new repository there.<br>

I will start the implementation of json module right now. I created my<br>
github account and as soon as I have code implemented I will send repository<br>
link.<br>

Any news on this? We're currently discussing which of the Cython-related projects to mentor. It's likely that not all of our projects will get accepted, so if you could get us a good initial idea about your work, we'd have a stronger incentive to value yours over the others.<br>
