[C++-sig] GSoC and py3k support for Boost.Python

[Haoyu Bai]

Hi,

I have posted this to Boost development mailling list before and many
people suggested me to repost here, so I did.

I'm a student who has finished SWIG's Python 3.0 support in GSoC 2008.
I'd like to contribute my knowledge of Python 3 migration to
Boost.Python, by implementing Python 3 support for it as a Google
Summer of Code 2009 project. Finally the users of Boost.Python would
get py3k support smoothly.

Also, you may suggest other useful features that Boost.Python
currently lack, for example thread safety and PyFinalize support. I
would like to take it as part of this project if possible.

Any comment is welcome. And it would be great if you are willing to
mentor this project.

Thanks!
