[MonoDevelop] [GSoC] Python debugger

[Martin Vejnár]

I should probably say that I am very new to MD (I first installed it 
three weeks ago), my knowledge of its codebase is very limited -- mostly 
to the debugger -- and I've only skimmed the PyBinding sources. As such, 
it is difficult for me to gauge the complexity of the tasks below.

Furthermore I should mentioned that I won't be able to invest more than 
120 hours on the project. Perhaps that time budget is not sufficient for 
a GSoC project, but I do think I'd manage to write the debugger support 
and complete some of the tasks I've picked out below.

I will have to rely on you to help me choose the appropriate tasks. 
Thank you all in advance for your comments.

I assume you are referring to a proper MRO support?

Unit testing is interesting, but at the moment I have no idea how it 
integrates with MD. I'll try to get up to speed before I write my proposal.

I personally have no experience with IronPython. As I am primarily a 
CPython user, I'd much rather work on supporting debugging than on .NET 
integration.
