E.g. test_importlib/pep263/ucn/unicode all now fully pass. Various + usage of identifiers (in particular type and module names) have been fixed to + handle non-ascii names -- mostly around display of reprs and exception + messages. + +* The unicodedata database has been upgraded to 6.0.0. + +* Windows support has greatly improved, though it could still use some more + help (but so does the default branch to a certain degree). + +* Probably the last of the parsing related bugs/features have been taken care + of. + +* Of course various other smaller miscellaneous fixes + +This leaves the branch w/ only about 5 outstanding failures of the stdlib test +suite: + +* test_float + + 1 failing test about containment of floats in collections. + +* test_memoryview + + Various failures: requires some bytes/str changes among other things (Manuel + Jacob's has some progress on this on the `py3k-memoryview branch`_) + +* test_multiprocessing + + 1 or more tests deadlock on some platforms + +* test_sys and test_threading + + 2 failing tests for the New GIL's new API + +Probably the biggest feature left to tackle is the New GIL. + +We're now pretty close to pushing an initial release. We had planned for one +around PyCon, but having missed that we've put some more effort into the branch +to provide a more fully-fledged initial release. + +Thanks to the following for their contributions: Manuel Jacob, Amaury Forgeot +d'Arc, Karl Ramm, Jason Chu and Christian Hudson. + +cheers, +Phil + +.. _donated: http://morepypy.blogspot.com/2012/01/py3k-and-numpy-first-stage-thanks-to.html +.. _`py3k proposal`: http://pypy.org/py3donate.html +.. _`py3k branch`: https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/commits/all/tip/branch%28%22py3k%22%29 +.. _`py3k-memoryview branch`: https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/compare/py3k-memoryview..py3k _______________________________________________ pypy-commit mailing list pypy-commit@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-commit
