Agreed on those problems. Would it be possible to use a design pattern in these cases so the Jython-only code wouldn't need to be part of the CPython repo? A naive example would be refactoring zlib to allow subclassing in the way that Jython needs, and then Jython could subclass in its own repo. CPython could have tests to check the subclass "contract" that Jython needs. What about a plat-java section to parallel plat-aix4, plat-darwin, etc? The analogy being that the Java platform is somewhat analogous to being it's own os? And these areas are not active when on other operating systems... Oh yeah and this does not preclude the zlib refactoring, and again for the record once this gets serious I'd want to help in bringing up a Jython buildbot to track breakage.
