Python wishlist
Core Python 2 flaws.
- locals() returns a variable that can be updated at any moment (and changes behavior under trace function)
- internal representation of .py file paths is not normalized (comparisons and identity checks are impossible)
-*- coding -*- header create online editor)
- build list of contributors with Mercurial
Ideas:
- Normalized Python
- Iterative Development Process
- Language for humans should help them save time for most frequent operations
- Replace pipes with channels for subprocess (rotated queue of strings)
Component wishlist
Public domain or MIT preferred.
2)
- [ ] describe the "conflicting replacements" (idempotency) problem what the wikify solves
- split text by regexp, process matched, exclude processed
- run the next regexp on the list of text that is left
- reassemble
- treeworks - tools to work with 2D data structures (trees), including common visualization and debugging
Ideas open for the taking
Open Source artists wanted (credits available):
- 3D robot nut in Blender for rirror on Bitbucket
- 128x128 wikify logo on Bitbucket
Logo for web.py
GSoC/Help needed for tools that support Python development:
complete module-2-source tree map at https://bitbucket.org/techtonik/python-stdlib
- this will allow to track changes in repository on a module level
- this will allow to find out where a file belongs to
Just a list:
- RIDLE - replace IDLE with modern alternative
- minimalism (perfection achieved not when it is nothing more to add...)
- get a list of current IDLE features, put them in a table
- filter out features that are the most critical
- accent on User eXperience
- incrementalism (development process)
- monthly development iterations
- schedule the most important feature per iteration
- community process
- minimalism (perfection achieved not when it is nothing more to add...)
steAm and SMArt (dealing with complexity)
Canvas2D ideas:
- redo *key status script* for PySDL2, pyprocessing and (maybe) pyglet

it's annoying, urgent, really serious |

humans don't like serious issues, remove |
fix it ASAP |

humans read it as a direct command, become aggravated, remove |
you're wrong |
I'm not sure that's a good idea |
humans don't like to be wrong, become demotivated |

humans attached to X don't like when X suxx, but may like Y |
