This project will be easier if the test suite for a particular function/class/module is up to par. If you find any gaping holes, you might file an issue on the tracker. About testsuites... one issue that you'll run into is that while some stdlib modules are written with backporting to older versions in mind, their testsuites are not. For instance, subprocess from python-2.7 runs fine on python-2.3+. The testsuite for subprocess in python-2.7 makes use of the with statement, though, so it has to be ported.
