Thanks Antoine for the clarification. The situation is that by now PyPy has found many many more bugs in trying to use the compiler package to run the whole stdlib and real-world applications. What I can propose is to extract what we have got and put it back into CPython's stdlib, keeping the current documented API. This will require a little bit of work (e.g. first finishing to add all new 2.5 and 2.6 features into PyPy's compiler) but IMHO it's more worthwhile than going through the process of rediscovering and fixing all the current bugs one by one.
