Possible Topics
- Implementing PEPs
- PEP 328 absolute/relative import
- PEP 343 implementation ('with:')
- PEP 308 implementation ('x if y else z')
- PEP 302 suggestions (fix pydoc and traceback printing to support zipfiles, implement sys.meta_path objects for built-in, frozen, and sys.path importers; search for "phase 2" in the PEP for other ideas)
- PEP 352 (exception hierarchy)
any other PEPs Guido might OK @ PyCon (PEP 352, 357, etc.)
- AST work
- export AST to Python
- Basic pychecker functionality
- rewrite peepholer to use AST instead of modifying bytecode directly (where applicable)
- Finish work on ast-objects branch (it's leaking refs)

- Patch/bug processing
- Incorporate PEP content into the LaTeX docs
