GSoC’17 : Adding Python3 support project Query.

Hi,

Introduction:
My name is Roht kumar and I am an undergraduate student in Computer Science program(2nd year) at Dr. B. R. Ambedkar National Institute of Technology Jalandhar, India.I am very much interested to work on "Add Python3 Support" and “Web Browser in Kodi” projects. I joined this open source adventure from january of this year itself, it is fun as well as I am learning new things everyday. My github at https://github.com/rohit-rk. I am comfortable working with C, C++, Python, Mysql, Mongodb, Oracle 10g(Working on it as part of curriculum), prefer to work on both Linux and windows. I am very good at understanding others code, which i think makes me a good candidate.

As I mentioned two projects, but I am specifically interested in working on adding Python 3 support. The reason is strange, but makes me feel confident. When i started with python, I was confused like which version to choose. I did lot of research then came up to a point of learning both. So first i, started with python 3.5 and then python 2.7. Working on version 3 was cooler and easier. Just to mention, Python 3 removing support of u'' strings is great help as it is headache to me(personal views). I came to know that many major packages have been ported to python3 like: NumPy, SciPy, Django, Flask, PIL to Pillow, ,py2exe ,etc. Still, many prefer to use Python2. With Python 3 being the future of Python while Python 2 in active use, I think having support for both would be a good idea.
Even the python communites support for both. There is this six compatibility package, a key utility for supporting Python 2 and Python 3 in a single code for small projects. But working for an organization and a huge code base will be a difficult, interesting task to tackle as well as i’ll get to learn a lot on the way, which i like the most.

Query:
I am writing to discuss the details and ask for advice on this. Could you please let me know more info about this project and repositories as i am new to KODI ?. Specifically, what are the requirements? Also, could you please let me know how I should start to get involved and contribute?

I am aware of the fact that it is a little bit too late to discuss this but I just learned that KODI is selected for Google Summer of Code and found a perfect project for my skillset. Well, this is about getting involved and contributing kind’a query, will send proposal soon.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Silencing Case & Video Card Downgrade

I have an older system that I turned into a media server and works great. Debated upgrading, getting a board with build in HDMI, but hard to warrant an upgrade when what I have handles everything just fine.

I did swap it out from the 15yr old case it was in because it was a tower with 1x80mm fan, and new power supply because the old one was noisy. The case though, is VERY noisy. Silverstone Grandia G09. It has space for 2x120mm fans on each side and 2x80mm on the rear, and a vent on top, and the back of the main hard drive faces to front bezel, so every bit of noise the components make comes out.

Onboard video would be great but no HDMI on this older board.

I plan to get case dampening for the top and front bezel to help with some of the noise, was looking at car audio dampening because cheaper and thickener/denser than the Silverstone stuff... though interesting that the very noisy case is made by the same place that makes case dampening materials. Smile

CPU fan, stock intel from 8yrs ago I think if replaced with one like this it would reduce some noise.

Video card... I have my old GT 650 Ti Boost dual fan card in the computer which for movies, is overkill. I was looking to swap to a fanless card, like the GeForce GT710 2GB which is a big step down from my card, but should be enough to run movies, correct? Says DirectX12, up to 4K video... looking to stay under $75CAD if possible, and case has space for a full size card so not limited to a low-profile. Any suggestions?

Actually, any suggestions in general... silencing the case, decent quiet CPU fan, cheap fanless video card?

Not looking to spend a lot... else may as well upgrade... but if can keep around $100CAD for some decent sound reduction, that would be great.Every tick and chatter of the hard drive and the cpu/gpu fans just echoes out the sides of that case... very annoying. Looks nice though.
