1. What did you do this week?

As GSoC is wrapping up, I wrote a summary of my work which can be found here. 

In addition, I have finalized my pull requests #495 and #484 which are now ready for merge.

2. What is coming up next?

After GSoC ends, I plan on continuing my contributions to Nuitka and PSF.

3. Did you get stuck anywhere?

I do not remember being stuck anywhere this week :)

This week, I focused mostly on bug fixes and improving my PyPI-pytest automation script while also working on adding more standalone tests.

1. I created a pull request https://github.com/Nuitka/Nuitka/pull/483 to add support for py_modules compilation support in Nuitka. The pull request turned out very well, adding support for not only py_modules compilation but also the combination of package and module. In addition, a new distutil example was also added to showcase the compilation of package and module

2. In the process of the above pull request, I discovered a regression in Nuitka and https://github.com/Nuitka/Nuitka/pull/487 was created as a hotfix.

3. In addition, Issue https://github.com/Nuitka/Nuitka/issues/479 is fixed by #483 and is now closed

4. I continued to improve my PyPI-pytest automated testing script, including functional improvements, minor speed improvements, readability, and documentation improvements. My work could be found at https://github.com/Nuitka/Nuitka/pull/495.

5. More standalone tests were also added to my pull request at https://github.com/Nuitka/Nuitka/pull/484. This is a side goal and is less important

I am very proud of the work I have done this week. The goal for this final week is to finish up pull request #495, and I plan on finishing #484 after GSoC ends. I also discussed with my mentor and plan on working for Nuitka long term, even after GSoC :). 

1. What did you do this week?

This week, I finished my script which automates the testing of nuitka-wheel pytest. Details can be found on my pull request: https://github.com/Nuitka/Nuitka/pull/440

The script automates the manual testing of comparing pytest results of a nuitka compiled wheel using `python setup.py bdist_nuitka` to the pytest results of an uncompiled wheel built using `python setup.py bdist_wheel` for the most popular PyPI packages. Testing is done to ensure that nuitka is building the wheel correctly. If the pytests pass/fail in the same way, that means Nuitka built the wheel properly. Else if the tests differ, then something is wrong. Virtualenv is used to create a clean environment with no outside pollution.

Many improvements have been made this week, including the addition of more PyPI packages. The pull request was merged after some final touches.

In addition, standalone tests are now being created for the PyPI packages. Details can be found in my pull request: https://github.com/Nuitka/Nuitka/pull/484

2. What is coming up next?
Add more packages to standalone tests. Add support for py_modules only compilation with Nuitka. Work on documentation (README.rst) for the automated testing script. 

3. Did you get stuck anywhere?
I ran into some issues with the Jinja2 package. I’ve skipped over it for now for the sake of time but will hopefully get back to it in the future.

A lot was done this week, including:

• Fixing automation for various pypi packages
• Figuring out failures for many packages
• Created a new issue for package pyyaml - https://github.com/Nuitka/Nuitka/issues/476
• Created a new issue for packages decorator, ipaddress, and pyparsing - https://github.com/Nuitka/Nuitka/issues/479
• Created a new issue for packages pycparser and numpy - https://github.com/Nuitka/Nuitka/issues/477
• Created a py_modules only example of `distutils` (can be seen in my main PR)
• Summary improvement and run-time improvements
• Fixed pylint errors

Very proud of the work I have done this week. The pull request is pretty much ready to be merged at this point. The plan for next week is to find bugs and probably work on documentation for the test suite.

Testing has been improved and extended to many more PyPI packages.

2. What is coming up next?
Perfect the script in preparation for merging and work on documentations.

3. Did you get stuck anywhere?
Some PyPI packages are special and require special handling during automation. I skipped these for the sake of speed, but I will need to get back to them in the future.
