tests porting status
All tests apart appspace tests and some tests in tool/test are ported to py.test. The tool/test are easy to address. Given that appspace tests are currently run through CPython I wonder whether it would make sense to merge the branch, porting the few tests that were added to the head after the branch creation and think how to address exactly the appspace tests issue after that directly on the head. This would allow whatever work is going to happen on the head between now and the sprint to use py.test tests. Samuele.

I have done some work on the appspace tests to let them run under PyPy. I may try to get my fixes and extensions to appspace-tests in but we don't need to wait with the trunk-merge for that. But, to be honest, our whole "appspace" organization is is kind of broken. I suggest that we try to integrate CPython's regression tests in a more automateable and more systematic way.

I generally agree. However, i don't know how well py.test works on Windows, yet. There are apparently people using it on windows but i haven't checked myself and don't know a complete status. It would be good to check that PyPy's py-tests do run on Win32 before merging with the branch. (The tests apparently work under OSX and linux at least). cheers, holger
