The windows port of pypy makes special demands on stdlib, specifically that files are explicitly closed. There are some other minor issues, in order to merge all the changes necessary to get pypy windows up to speed, around 10 modules or at least their tests seem to need to be modified. I have been doing a bit of work on the stdlib shipped with pypy 1.9 (version 2.7.2 unfortunately) to make it compliant. Assuming there is interest, what would be the best path to get, for instance, a modified version of mailbox.py with its tests (test_mailbox.py and test_old_mailbox.py) backported to cpython? Matti
PS - I know closing files on delete is also an issue for cpython3.3, I did merge as much of 3.3 back into mailbox as I could, but there were still more issues. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
