[issue1251748] compiler package: "global a; a=5"

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

It seems to me that releasing it as a third-party package would be a
little contradictory, since the compiler package is supposed to follow
the CPython core (compile.c etc.) evolutions.

In any case, whatever the decision (stdlib package or separate
releases), I think it would be nice if there was a slightly more
comprehensive test suite. :)

Something like running some selected non-controversial parts of the test
suite compiled with the compiler package (like PyPy does apparently)
could be a good start.
