Hi,
thank you for your interest in Cantor. There has already been some work on a 
Python backend for Cantor, it can be found in the python-backend branch of our 
git repository. I'm not entirely sure about its current status, but maybe you 
could check it out. It was developed by Filipe Saraiva 
<filip.saraiva at gmail.com> so he should probably be able to give you details. 
I'd be happy to see you contribute to Cantor but I'm not sure if I can be a 
mentor for GSoC this year, as I'm currently quite busy with university. If you 
have any questions I'll certainly be around but I can't promise you a fast 
response time and don't really want additional responsibility. So if you want 
to work on Cantor for gsoc someone else would have to step up.(Anyone around 
to help?)

best regards,
Alexander Rieder
