Dear all,

I’ve posted a proposal for the Python connector at: 
https://github.com/balabit/syslog-ng/wiki/GSoC-2015-Proposal:-syslog-ng-for-Python-(maxvt)

Any comments are welcome. There are a few questions at the bottom; repeating them here for convenience:

1. Python 3, Python 2, or both? Supporting only 3 allows using nifty idioms and language features, but there are still users who prefer to speak 2. Constrained platforms may not have enough resources to run both.

2. Are there any priorities among the different components in the project? A total of 5 components are specified.

3. Viability of one-component-at-a-time approach — whether you would prefer to see each part as it is done to completion, or proceed in parallel for all components (eg., wrapper APIs for all, then Python APIs for all, then completed documentation and examples for all).

Yours,
— 
Max
