I only fixed a couple of things in the genexpr inlining code which 
shouldn't have any impact on existing Cython code bases, so the latest tip 
will work just as well. However, we're not there yet. I would like to have 
Cython's own test suite green on all Python versions even before the alpha.

Yes, a handful of tests still fail in Py3.

Looks like Haoyu has a fix for at least one of them.

Note that we don't currently run the Hudson tests on all Python platforms 
for cython-closures but only for cython-devel. I'd suggest merging 
cython-closures into cython-devel before releasing the alpha, and giving 
Hudson a couple of minutes to run all tests to see if we missed anything 
there (which we likely did).

I'll take a look at the current cython-devel failures in Py<=2.5 as I broke 
at least one of them while fixing Unicode problems on narrow platforms, but 
I'd be happy to get some help in fixing the others. Some tests have been 
broken for ages. See e.g. the end of
