PySide was accepted in the Google Summer of Code [code.google.com] under the umbrella of the Python Software Foundation [python.org].

If you want to submit any idea check the Python GSOC page [wiki.python.org], for more information.
You can contact any PySide mentor or join to #pyside channel on freenode to discuss the current or new ideas.

PySide GSoc ideas

Python 3.2 support

Support Python3, currently PySide supports Python 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7. It would be nice to have support for Python 3.2.

KDE libs bindings

This is self explanatory.

QScintilla bindings

Currently, PySide lacks bindings for QScintilla [riverbankcomputing.co.uk], which is a nice editor control used on IDEs or advanced text editors.

Use APIExtractor to generate type system skeletons for new bindings

Write a tool that uses ApiExtractor to generate skeletons of type system files – useful when creating new bindings with Shiboken. Maybe this is too small for a GSoc.

PySide/Python support for QtCreator

Add support for PySide on QtCreator.

Symbian support

Have PySide running on Symbian phones.

Support for PySide Mobility on Qt Simulator

Be able to use PySide Mobility with Qt Simulator to ease the development.

Visual tool to fast edit type system files

A GUI tool to fast find/edit entries on type system files.

Introspection bindings generation

Implement a new binding generation using shiboken + any C++ introspection library (smoke).
Use the same idea used on new PyGtk bindings to have a really small bindings.

Android Support

Port PySide to Android. Pointers on how to get started at Building PySide on Android

Qwt Binding

Have a Qwt/QwtPlot3D/QwtPolar binding, as often asked.
