mmap module is complete. We (I and I, I guess) still have a problem with special methods. Methods like __xyz__ are not supported by the PyPy’s extension compiler so I had to implement stuff like len(mmap_object) as mmap_object.get_len(). That’s definitely ugly and breaks the compatibility with CPython so keep attention. It also lacks support of slice() objects.

strptime() function has been moved out the time module. There’s not support for it by now. The matter is strptime() at application level (Python’s) works correctly and tests passes but it doesn’t compile for a bunch of reasons: first, TimeRE() class is a subclass of dict() objects (managed to fix that); second, it relies on enormous amount of modules being a single apparently harmless function (to name some: calendar, re, datetime, locale which in turn raaelies on the whole encodings package). So I tried to “backport” some of the stuff the ext. compiler didn’t like but I got stuck around the encodings package.

I decided to remove that function by now. I’ll see.

Now I gotta concentrate on bz2 and ssl to complete my tasks.
