[MonoDevelop] [GSoC] Python debugger

[Christian Hergert]

I could mentor the project.  I think that the debugger framework does
enough of the heavy lifting (in terms of UI integration) where adding
pdb support might not be a big enough project.  Having not looked at
the debugger framework directly I'm not totally up to speed.

Perhaps picking a few things off the list below could help fill that out.

 * Enhance code completion to support multiple-inheritance
 * Replace the subprocess python parser with IronPython's parser in process
 * Smart formatting for the python syntax following PEP8
 * An interactive python shell reusing the TextEditor code (for
highlighting, could share code with c# shell, etc)
 * Basic refactoring such as Extract/Rename method, rename class
 * Generate UML diagrams from modules/parser information
 * Basic python profiling (for method execution times, etc)
 * Remote debugging
 * Unit testing (twisted-trial, pyunit, etc)

Cheers,

-- Christian
