Just a reminder, in mid-April, there was a short thread on Python-3000 (to be continued here) entitled Separating out CPython and core Python tests, I suggested separate files in separate directories. Brett C. suggested, I believe, decorators to mark tests within a file. Guido suggested maybe both, as appropriate. The plan was to defer marking or movement of existing test until 2.6, but lets clearly comment any new implementation-specific tests as such.
