I am going to apply for a Google Summer of Code project about "Developing Cython towards better NumPy integration" (Cython: http://cython.org). Anyone interested in how this is done can have a look at the links below, any feedback is welcome. Unfortunately I don't have much time to spare before the application deadline, so the focus now is only on high-level stuff, the application and so on; thinks like syntax or sorting out the exact supported NumPy features will (unfortunately) have to wait until at least next week. The application I am going to submit (to Python Foundation): http://wiki.cython.org/DagSverreSeljebotn/soc It links to a details page with more concrete information. The specification for the NumPy support itself is here: http://wiki.cython.org/enhancements/numpy As you might be able to see, my thoughts so far has primarily been on how to engineer Cython and not so much about what would be the most convenient NumPy syntax possible - but have a look if you are interested. -- Dag Sverre Seljebotn
