I had have a project in mind for several months, a compiler for
Modelica language in python, there is actually two main approach,
openmodelica and jmodelica, both free ( i don't remember the exactly
licences), openmodelica is written  in C++ and jmodelica has a
front-end for python, but its core is java based. I had started a
gtkmodelica project, in code google, with c++ and spirit library( i
didn't  find at the moment a good library like spirit in python), but
developing in c++ is quite slow (but is really nice), and recently I
found pyparsing, I think is a good tool for the parser, and i create a
repo in github (is empty right now), i wish i could have the enough
time right now, but i got a lot of work right now.

A project like this has a lot of great challenges: parsing,
differential equation solving, a lot about language semantics, the
graphical tool could be like labview, simulink, or maplesim ( I love
flowcanvas library for gtk in c++, but it is quite old  right now),
code generation (to use hardware in the loop), real time plotting,
etc... it could be a great project.

I'm using right now some python classes that works as wrapper for
openmodelica, and i use numpy for optimization purpose, and it works
great, but a more natural mix with a native python tool would be just
fantastic.
