[IronPython] CPython's test_builtin results summary

[Martin Maly]

Hi Michael,

Thank you for taking the time and running the test suite. It is not
surprising that there are so many failures since much of the development
effort went into getting basic functionality and interoperability with
.Net framework and there are many cases (some are common, some less)
that IronPython does not handle well as of now.

Before we release IronPython 1.0 we need to be running the Python
regression tests with very good success rates. As I said in the earlier
email, we are working on getting broad-scale regression tests to pass
and each new release will get us much closer to that goal. There is
undisputable value in getting the entire test suite to pass, however we
do not require the community to duplicate the efforts that we have
already under way.

At this early stage there are still many useful programs that people can
build with IronPython 0.7. These are newly written programs using .NET
libraries rather than existing Python programs. Right now we're most
interested in capturing the problems from these early users both to
understand issues with .NET integration and to fix blocking issues as
quickly as possible so they can get on with writing code. This is a new
set of issues where we need to build experience and can't rely on the
existing test suites to cover us as we push towards 1.0.

Thanks and keep in touch,
The IronPython Team
