[Experience Level]
I'm passionate about python and have been working on it for about a year. I started with Simple[1], a pet project of my own which simplifies the task of creating and executing a file on linux platform. I've also played around with twisted during the development of honeyftp[2], a honeypot which mocks an ftp server, vsftpd. In addition to that, I've contributed to the porting of Configobj[3] created by Michael Foord. Further more, I continued the work of porting of distutils2[4] which really gave me a good experience of porting and familiarity with the code of distutils2. The details of the work is available at my bitbucket repo[5]. I also contributed during the sprint held in Pycon 2011 for conversion of distutils2 to 'Packaging'[6]. I have been working on pytest 2.0.0 for quite some time and looking forward to implement it to the tests of MoinMoin[7].
