First off, good work to everyone involved. You did a tremendous job. I just hope to hell you're done, because I can't keep up! :-)

It would help me enormously if someone could summarize the status and everything that went on. These are the things that would help me the most.

It looks like there were a lot of additions to the string test suite, that's great. I'm not sure if the other areas touched got similar boosts to their tests. It would be good to upgrade all tests to verify corner cases of the implementation. These tests should also be documented that they are to test the implementation rather than the language spec. We don't want to write obscure tests that can't pass in other impls like Jython, IronPython, or PyPy.

I will turn my amd64 box back on tomorrow and will also run Python through valgrind and pychecker when I get a chance. There are a couple of new Coverity complaints that need to be addressed.

Cheers, n
