[SoC2010-General] Open Problems in Python's Compiler

[Danilo Freitas]

Taking advatage of this email, I took a look at
http://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/JITProjects and got
interested on two ideas: Faster regular expressions and Optmize
looping contructs.

I'm very interested in compilers and I have a experience on Cython
compiler from last GSoC.

I don't have a great specific knowledge of Python 3 JIT, but I may
have it with some time of studying.
