@EmmanuelTramoy Hmm, I'm not sure since these tweaks involve multiple 3rd party packages (configparser, pytest, pathlib2). I guess you could maintain a branch with the tweaks and all the dependencies?...

If you could provide an example to reproduce the issue that would be helpful.

As stated in the comment above it works except for dict: ``` Python from types import ModuleType as M m = M.__new__(M) assert str(m) == "" assert not hasattr(m, "__name__")...

Readable repro code: ``` Python import os TESTFN = "@test" source = TESTFN + ".py" with open(source, "w") as f: print >> f, ("# This tests Python's ability to import...

Thanks for the report! May be related to https://github.com/IronLanguages/ironpython3/issues/817 (which was fixed in IronPython 3).

Here's repro code: ``` Python def a(): def b(): exec('print("A")') return None ``` Under CPython 2.7 it fails with: > SyntaxError: unqualified exec is not allowed in function 'b' because...

Looks like we need overloads to deal with `BigInteger` arguments.

There are likely a number of changes that would need to be made to the DLR (and IronPython) to support this. I tried the following change to `CallInstruction.Create` ```C# if...

This one is still giving an `AttributeError` instead of a `TypeError`: ``` class Nothing: pass def g(x, *y, **z): print x, y, sortdict(z) g(*Nothing()) ```
