Nithish R commented on RAT-130:
-------------------------------

I am a participant of the ICFOSS- Apache Software Foundation Joint Mentorship Programme[1]. I am interested in doing this task. I know Python to an intermediate level. I would like to port Apache Rat to Python. I would like to know more details.

> Apache Rat helps projects audit and comprehend the licenses qualities of the software they ship.
> Today, Apache Rat is coded in Java and integrates with Apache Maven and Apache Ant (as well as the command line). Ports to other other languages and build systems would help increase adoption.
> This would be an ideal project for a student interested in using a variety of languages (for example Ruby, Python, JavaScript and CoffeeScript) perhaps porting to a new language or build system each week.The exact scope of schedule would be negotiable.
