Hi

I'm interested in doing the Summer of code on PyPy, from what I saw on the mailing list and on irc, I would like to work on 2 things which might interest you (there is no order of preference).

* Python backend for Cython (to interface with C code, this could use  use ctypes or an API exposed by PyPy), the backend would either  produce python code or python bytecode and will allow PyPy to JIT the  Cython extension (I talked about it with Alex Gaynor yesterday).

* Improve the JVM backend, making it translate on the trunk and  interface (R)Python code with Java. (As proposed by Antonio Cuni).

I'm available from the end of May (around the 25th) to the beginning of September so this shouldn't be a problem.

If this is OK, which one would you prefer ?

Hey. Personally I would vastly prefer the first one. It's more immediately usable. We do require people submitting proposals to contribute some code (like fixing a small issue) first before being accepted. Anywhere you would like to contribute something? Feel free to pop up on IRC and ask people around what's interesting. Cheers, fijal
