After a few tweaks to ExtensionClass and a few small fixes to some of our introspection code I'm happy to say that Python 2.2a1 passes our unit test suite. This is significant since there are about 45000 lines of code (counted by "wc -l") tested by 3569 test cases. Since we use ZODB ExtensionClasses are quite widely used. Merging descr_branch into HEAD sounds like a good idea to me. Well done Guido.
I hate to be a wet blanket, Neil, but we (the MEMS Exchange virtual fab project) really have more like 18000 lines of formally tested code, 6700 lines of test code, and 10000 lines of UI code (which isn't formally tested). It's still a pretty big pile, though, and the fact that it can be beaten into submission to work with 2.2 is great news. (LoC figures are courtesy of Dinu Gherman's pycount, which distinguishes code, docs, comments, and blank lines. I'm just reporting the "code" figure.)
I'm going to spend a bit of time trying to rewrite the ZODB Persistent class as a type.
