Improve Numpy Datetime Functionality for Gsoc

hi, I am Saprative .I am new to numpy devlopment. I want to work on the project of improving datetime functionality numpy project .I want to solve some related bugs and get started with the basics. As there is no irc channel for numpy so i am facing a problem of contacting with the mentors moreover there is no mentors mentioned for this project. So anybody who can help me out please contact with me. from, Saprative Jana (Mob: +919477325233)

i am also student developer. if i will get anything i will tell you. On Thu, Mar 19, 2015 at 11:55 AM, Saprative Jana <saprativejana@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Saprative and Smruti, Sorry for the slow reply, I overlooked this thread. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.numeric.general/53805 and the discussion that followed (also linked from the ideas page) should give you some idea of what is required. If you want to start working on a patch I recommend to start small: https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22Easy... There are also a number of related issues that you could look at: https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+datetime. Trying to tackly one of those should give you an idea of the level of difficulty of this project (it's one of the harder ones on our list).

The most recent discussion about datetime64 was back in March and April of last year: http://mail.scipy.org/pipermail/numpy-discussion/2014-March/thread.html#6955... http://mail.scipy.org/pipermail/numpy-discussion/2014-April/thread.html#6977... In addition to unfortunate timezone handling, datetime64 has a lot of bugs -- so many that I don't bother reporting them. But if anyone ever plans on working on them, I can certainly help to assemble a long list of the issues (many of these are mentioned in the above threads). Unfortunately, though I would love to see datetime64 fixed, I'm not really a suitable mentor for this role (I don't know C),

Hi Stephan, thanks for at least considering to mentor. It's always possible to help out as a secondary mentor - even if you don't know C, you could provide valuable feedback because unlike most numpy devs you're actually *using* datetime64. Cheers, Ralf

so may i know the links for mentor ,so that i can talk with them more ?? can you provide me the links please ??? On Wed, Mar 25, 2015 at 12:26 PM, Ralf Gommers <ralf.gommers@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Smruti, there are no links. I am one of the mentors, the other mentors are all reading this list. You'll get the most feedback on this list, so please ask relevant technical questions here. If you have further questions on administrative questions that you prefer to not post in public, you can email me privately. Cheers, Ralf

No, that's not what I'm saying. Submitting a patch is a requirement from the Python Software Foundation (which is the umbrella org under which we are participating in GSOC) as explained on https://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/2015 and on https://github.com/scipy/scipy/wiki/GSoC-project-ideas Regarding mentoring: we have currently 5 mentors signed up in Melange, and will be able to find topic-specific ones if needed. Given that the last couple of years we received 2 slots, we will be able to provide a mentor. It's just not yet clear which one, because we have several mentors who could mentor a number of proposed projects. Cheers, Ralf
