New issue 1826: The stackless implementation of PyPy is incomplete
https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issue/1826/the-stackless-implementation-of-pypy-is

Anselm Kruis:

Hi,

the stackless implementations of PyPy and Stackless-Python differ. Stackless 
added quite a few new functions and properties and fixed shortcomings during 
the past year. These changes didn't make it to PyPy.

I discussed this situation at Europython 2014 with Armin. As a first step to 
improve the situation, I created a test suite for the Stackless API: 
https://bitbucket.org/stackless-dev/stackless-testsuite/overview

This test-suite is a pure Python and runs unmodified on Python 2 or 3. It tests 
the API that every implementation of the module "stackless" should provide. 
Currently, the test-suite is not yet complete. It only checks, if expected 
functions/methods/attributes are present, but it does not yet check the 
functionality.

To run the test suite simply execute

```
#!sh
$ hg clone https://bitbucket.org/stackless-dev/stackless-testsuite
$ cd stackless-testsuite
$ pypy setup.py test
```

Any comments on the test suite, the stackless API and any help to improve the 
situation are highly welcome.
