I'm trying to port unittest.py to Prothon, here are my impressions: 1. I realized that I don't know how to translate some Python builtins. I mean either I haven't gained the knowledge or the functionality is lacking. I decided to write a full translation quick reference. See below. 2. Too many small changes during porting will be hard to debug. It's better to make syntax changes first, import Python functionality, run test suite and then moving in small steps remove Python functionality. So I started module pyCompat. Currently it is not usable because of bug 37 in the interpreter (Mark, I sent you a private message about that, have you got it?). It is also untested, because testing depends on unittest.pr, which does't exist :) 3. There are minor incompatibilities between Prothon and Python builtin objects, unless they are *all* found and (documented or fixed) porting is a pain. 4. What is the status of "from Module import xxx"? -- Serge
