It would be very nice if these complex corner cases had a set of test cases which could be run by all implementations (CPython, Jython, IronPython, PyPy, etc).  I don't know.  Maybe the CPython test suite serves that purpose, but it seems like it would be helpful if this sort of "validation suite" was maintained as a separate project all implementations could use and contribute to. Talk has started up again on the stdlib-sig list about finding a core stdlib + tests that can be shared by all implementations, potentially living apart from CPython. I have volunteered to put together a PEP on the subject, with Jessie Noller and Brett Canon are helping me out. When I have something worth showing, I'll start the real PEP process.
