[IronPython] IronPython and standard Python libraries

[Martin Maly]

Hello,

After reading Anthony's email on CPython's standard libraries I tried to
import the libraries using IronPython to see how well IronPython does
just importing the libraries. Out of 182 modules that I tried to import
116 imported successfully (which does not unfortunately mean that they
would also run correctly) and 66 of the 182 standard Python's library
modules fail to import. The most frequent recurrent theme of the import
failures was missing
built-in modules (struct, exception, errno, ...) or unimplemented
features. The detailed results are below.

As for other testing efforts, I am currently making progress on getting
the test_builtin run. With few modifications we can run the test and the
failures also often point to missing modules (and of course, valid
bugs).

As I said in the release announcement email, I will be spending my
IronPython time over the next weeks pretty much exclusively trying to
improve our pass-rate for the regression tests and to fix as many of the
problems reported by the standard libraries. I hope by the time I am
back the picture will look much brighter.

Thanks
Martin
