[Python-Dev] Looking for master thesis ideas involving Python

[Brett C.]

Today I got the wheels turning on my masters thesis by getting an 
adviser.  Now I just need a topic.  =)  The big goal is to do something 
involving Python for a thesis to be finished by fall of next year (about 
October) so as to have it done, hopefully published (getting into LL4 
would be cool), and ready to be used for doctoral applications come 
January 2005.

So, anyone have any ideas?  The best one that I can think of is optional 
type-checking.  I am fairly open to ideas, though, in almost any area 
involving language design.

There is no deadline to this, so if an idea strikes you a while from now 
still let me know.  I suspect I won't settle on an idea any sooner than 
December, and that is only if the idea just smacks me in the face and 
says, "DO THIS!"  Otherwise it might be a while since I don't want to 
take up a topic that won't interest me or is not helpful in some way.
