Three 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 ([https://python.domainunion.de/peps/pep-0266.html 266], [https://python.domainunion.de/peps/pep-0267.html 267], or [https://python.domainunion.de/peps/pep-0280.html 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

Sprinters so far:

• Guido van Rossum (coach)
• Jeremy Hylton
• Tim Peters
• Brett Cannon
• Ka-Ping Yee
• Thomas Wouters
• Neil Schemenauer
• Barry Warsaw
