Are we aiming for 100% compatibility, or 99.9%? For instance, I seem to recall a few dark corners we aren't planning on covering -- maybe some details of traceback construction? (I want to say multiple inheritance, too, but I think that's only an issue for cdef classes, right?) I think it would be good to have this written down -- in particular, it seems like there's some momentum right now for clearly delineating "Python language semantics" vs. "CPython implementation detail" in the python-devel community, so it might be a particularly good time to raise these questions. -cc
