Hi Anders, I ran the CPython tests with inprogress__codecs.py renamed to _codecs.py. As I should probably not check them in "the normal way", to avoid confusing the web reports, I checked them into http://codespeak.net/svn/user/arigo/hack/pypy-hack/testresult-codecs/ which you can check out and inspect (Holger, comments on a good way to dig into these 133 files locally?). There are 26 failures, which is 8 more than reported by http://codespeak.net/~hpk/pypy-testresult/ on the trunk -- not too bad, I suppose. Sorry, I didn't figure out so far which ones these 8 tests are... small Python scripts ahead :-) Also, we should move some unicode-specific tests from "non-core" to "core" now. If test_unicode takes ages to run we should try to reduce the longest-running loops. Armin
