text: Four of the guys from Pythonlabs are going to be at the sprint on plan on sprint on *something*. This is all being led by Guido, but he is busy and has no specific ideas of what to sprint on. If you have any, please list them below.
  - Close as many bugs on SF as possible.
  Implement one of the namespace speed-up PEPs (266, 267, or 280) or anything else to help prevent Guido from getting a pie in the face. =)
  My pet bug is reliable signal handling when using event loops like PyGTK. I think an extra C-level hook in the core would make it possible to do this right. (At the moment, SIGINT/KeyboardInterrupt is blocked until python regains control). I'd be interested in participating in an effort to fix this one. - PyConBrianWarner
  Free threading (which has been asked for almost as long as namespace speed-ups
  - Thomas Wouters)
  - Work on the AST branch (will make Jeremy happy =)
  - Fix rexec. (I happen to think it has potential and is worth saving). - Brian Warner
  - Fully document classes, both classic and new-style
  make _p_changed=1 after changing a list or a dictionary unnecessary (ZODB) - Thomas Guettler <guettli@thomas-guettler.de>
  - Implement CALL_ATTR to speed up method calling
  - Make the profiler support threads
  - Implement a new I/O library
  Start work on new sockets interface as mentioned by Guido on python-dev (email at )
  Sprinters so far:
  - Guido van Rossum (coach)
  - Jeremy Hylton
  - Tim Peters
  - Brett Cannon
  - Ka-Ping Yee
  - Thomas Wouters
  - Neil Schemenauer
  - Aahz
  - Neal Norwitz
  Projects chosen so far:
  - CALL_ATTR (Thomas, Brett)
  - speed up new-class instance attribute lookup using a cache (Ping, Aahz)
  - AST branch (Jeremy, Tim, Neil)
  A summary of the speedup sprint work is in my blog: --Guido
