Possible tasks for helping out with Shed Skin

Upgrade MingW

The MingW contained in the Windows package is getting old. The MingW project has not yet upgraded to g++ 4.x, but there is at least one fork that is more uptodate (TODO: insert link)

Improve Support for Non-common Exceptions

Currently, Shed Skin does not support Exceptions such as SystemExit, ZeroDivisionError, OverflowError and the like.

Cleanup file, cStringIO, pipes code

cStringIO and os.popen_pipe (in the future) both inherit from file. the corresponding code hierarchy on the C++ side is a bit ugly and probably extremely inefficient.

Optimize builtins

there are many places in lib/builtin.?pp that can still be optimized further.

Improve 'os' support

especially under windows.

Code Review

the compiler source code is a bit messy. an extra pair of hands to perform minor cleanups and refactoring would be very useful.
