The one problem with that is if you are sitting in /norwegian/blue/pypy/interpreter/test, and '/norwegian/blue/' isn't on your PYTHONPATH, you choke on trying to import pypy.test.support.

("previous" being the pypy/testall.py file, not any pre-sprint test hook.) ... and pypy/testcts.py is a rather clever piece of code to run tests on StdObjSpace, keep track of the results, and report any difference from run to run. >The individual .../test/test_xxx.py files are still runnable. There is a >testsupport.py file in all test directories for glueing purposes; running >it directly should execute all the tests in that directory. I've been playing around with it over the weekend, and I feel things (testing wise) need to be clarified slightly. First, I think we should move all pypy-as-a-whole testing related stuff into an approriate subdirectory ("pypy/testing" or some such. As it is now, pieces are scattered in pypy and pypy/interpreter. Secondly, the testing framework as written will only run tests at the interpreter level. Some tests (such as test_exceptcomp and test_exec) should be run at the application level. Additionally, there is no provision for running the CPython regression tests automatically within the current testing framework. The thought occured to me if it would not be easiest to "appropriate" the CPython regrtest.py framework for our purposes. As best I can tell, it's written in a general fashion already, so "all" we would need to do is get it to recognize when to run tests under interpreter level and when to run tests under application level. (Which could potentially be accomplished by a naming convention.) >> - any "entry points" other than interactive.py? > >There is main.py in the same directory. Its purpose is that 'python >main.py >script-and-options' should be the same as 'pypy script-and-options' if we >had >a working 'pypy' program. I guess that main.py should invoke >interactive.py >when started with no argument (it doesn't right now). Other problems, I assume (from code inspection, not from direct running) are that the commandline arguments are not passed to sys.argv, sys.path may or may not contain the directory of the script, and sys.modules['__main__'] is not set equal to the script module (only a problem, I think, when running unittest.main()). And in keeping with my rearranging mood, I think main.py should probably be placed in the pypy/ directory. -- I also think someone should give me <Dr. Evil> ONE BILLION DOLLARS </Dr. Evil> and melons should taste more like currants, so that shows you what *I* know. >> - a recap of the current StdObjsSpace registration/multimethod >> mechanisms. > >The W_XxxObject classes of the standard object space are, precisely, >*implementations* of objects.

FANTASTIC! An excellent way of looking at things. But I'm still a little hazy. Could you walk us through how this scheme would work with multiple implementations of the same type and specifics as to how this would be different from the (CPython) current implementation of types being the same as the implementation?
