It would be great to see this as a separate project (pyspec?) so that

yes, that was my idea when I proposed it.
Of course for maximum platform compatibility it should be based on
unittest...
:-)
I guess there is no chance to get pypy involved in such a project
without using py.test :-).
I doubt there is much chance of getting CPython developers interested if
it is not based on a standard library module.
There is also no py.test implementation for Jython or IronPython.
I realise there is an effort underway to port py.test to Jython, but if
py.test uses sys.settrace or stack frame magic then it will be a *long*
time before it can run on IronPython.
A 'cross-platform' testing approach that relies on platform dependent
implementation details, and isn't used by the core CPython developers
seems to be *much* less interesting or useful in my opinion.

It would probably be more of a problem for *them* to depend on the
PyPy ctypes implementation though. :-(
I don't know Microsoft policies, it would be a real pity if that would
not be possible because of vague legal issues.
But I think it would be possible to integrate it at least in fepy.
Personally I think that a Python 2.5 implementation (IronPython 2) is
incomplete without ctypes of course...

Moreover, having a working ctypes for all the four major python
implementation would make it THE standard way to write extension
modules, and the whole community would benefit from this.
Incidentally, it would probably be possible to implement _rawffi for
IronPython in pure Python - building on the dynamic platform invoke
work that Seo started for ctypes.
yes, but then I'm not sure about performances. Still, a slower ctypes
is much better than no ctypes :-).
ciao,
Anto
