Perhaps a project would be a proper python to maxima linkage, not
"pexpect" which William Stein of Sage claims is too slow, and therefore
Maxima should be rewritten, piecemeal in python.
If a proper linkage were possible, e.g. taking a lisp data structure and
returning it to python or vice versa, instead of whatever is done, would
that fix
everything?
Or having python run inside the common lisp.
I know nothing about pexpect.
Google seems to like python and not lisp (so much).
It would be cute to essentially replace Sage's fundamental mechanism
with something much better.
Here's another project: make the google calculator do symbolic math.
That is, instead of just 2*2= as a search string, allow x*x=
Anything involving higher math is, I think, going to be less popular
than more "common" topics.
Anything using python seems to be favored somewhat.
