Expanding OOP capabilities of LPython for porting common CPython modules

About the Project

In the summer of 2025, I am participating in Google Summer of Code, working with the LPython compiler project under the Python Software Foundation on Expanding OOP capabilities of LPython. My work involves improving the OOP capabilities of LPython by implementing dunder methods and operator overloading.

The goal of this project is to have a the OOP working to the extent that we can easily port common CPython modules to LPython.
