If there is enough work, and the work can be suitably identified, then
it can also be a possible GSoC. There are also other possibilities to
improve our existing Python code bases to adhere to some proposed
Python coding conventions, which could make a nice GSoC effort to
ensure it is done iteratively and carefully without breaking things.

If that is of interest, we can find more information, but you can also
search the archives last 3-4 months about Python.
