New Project Proposal - nick

[hal8943]

Project description

I have an idea to create a new python interpreter for the IBM Z platform. My goal is for this python interpreter to perform better than the CPython interpreter, which has been ported to z/OS a number of times. One of my goals is to provide full access to all z/OS hardware and software facilities including all instructions and services documented in POPS. In addition, this project seeks to define a standard library to allow full access to all authorized assembler services, unauthorized assembler services, and callable services for high level languages on z/OS. Finally, this library will be partially compatible with existing CPython interpreter ports for z/OS, allowing programmers using existing CPython interpreters to create problem state utilities for z/OS.

Statement on alignment with Open Mainframe Project Mission and Vision statements

Current or desired source control repository

No repository has been created yet. At this time, I plan to call the interpreter Emma and the standard library Nick, although they will probably be stylized differently.

External dependencies (including licenses)

Ideally, none. Remains to be seen.

I'll just create a repositories outside of the open mainframe project community now and get to work.
