The test suite is a problem anyway, given that Cython doesn't implement a specific level of the Python language. It aims for 2.6 compatibility, but it already implements many of the Py3k PEPs, for example. But, yes, it doesn't currently import the test suite (without cheating). Many of the tests fail to compile due to the use of lambda statements (which won't take long to support on top of the existing closures) and conditionally defined classes (which will likely take longer, unless we cheat a bit by special casing the simple cases). BTW, other implementations lack some standard library modules. I find it a lot easier to work around missing syntax than to work around missing dependencies. But maybe that's just me. Stefan
