Ideas for a master's thesis related to Python

Lest we become a Microsoft-only blog...

Not all the ideas seem very interesting, and I am not sure all would be appropriate for a master thesis, but at least the list includes some valuable links.

Those still trying to recover from the macros discussion will be happy(?) to find some more macro related ideas...

There are a lot of interesting ideas there. But the one on multiple dispatch seems far too easy for a masters thesis. In fact, I've already done exactly that for a _Charming Python_ installment:

(or as of right now: google "multiple dispatch" and choose "I'm feeling lucky"... I love being first for general terms :-)).

Not that I'm even the first person to do basically the same thing. And I never even took any CS courses, let alone someone giving me a masters degree in it (just my Ph.D. in PoMo social philosophy).

C'mon, can't I have an honorary degree in CS or something.
