PyPy Status Blog: Py3k status update #9

This is the ninth status update about our work on the py3k branch, which
we can work on thanks to all of the people who donated to the py3k
proposal.

Just a very short update on December's work: we're now passing about 223 of
approximately 355 modules of CPython's regression test suite, up from passing
194 last month.

Some brief highlights:

• More encoding related issues were addressed. e.g. now most if not all the
  multibytecodec test modules pass.
• Fixed some path handling issues (test_os, test_ntpath and
  test_posixpath now pass)
• We now pass test_class, test_descr and almost test_builtin (among
  other things): these are notable as they are fairly extensive test suites of
  core aspects of the langauge.
• Amaury Forgeot d'Arc continued making progress on CPyExt (thanks again!)

cheers,
Phil
