GAM toolbox for StatsModels

My love for open sources projects leads me to the GSoC project.  My project is for the Python software foundation and in particular for the Statsmodels library. The aim of the project is to develop a GAM toolbox similar to the one available in the R package MGCV.

At the moment we are trying to understand if the splines implementation that is available with the PASTY library is powerful enough for our needs.
