This is indeed the case. The CPython test suite is invaluable in guiding 
IronPython development. Most of the time, the tests are pretty good to gloss 
over implementation artifacts (usually error messages), so that they work for 
IronPython as well, despite some differences between CPython and IronPython.

There are a few cases, however, when the tests expect behavior that is 
implementation-specific and difficult to match in IronPython, or is proper 
Python but impossible to match for IronPython. For all such cases I would like 
to submit patches to the CPython repo, but I am new to this process. Should 
such case first be reported on bpo, python-dev, or just straight a github PR?

Sometimes, by writing additional tests for IronPython we discover what seems as 
possible bugs in CPython. I was planning to submit reports for them on bpo, 
assuming this is the proper place to discuss them, but perhaps python-dev is a 
better place.

> So fixing the tests to allow it either way sounds good.

A github PR is on its way.
