For that type of feature, I am pretty sure the answer is no. There are
developers from other implementations that have cpython commit rights
and they have contributed new tests. Modules? I have never seen 'We
first did this with xpython on the tracker, but it is possible.
The best place to ask is the developer lists for each project.
gmane.comp.lang.jython.devel
gmane.comp.python.pypy
gmane.comp.pyhton.ironpython.user (no devel here)
