This week, I created nuitka standalone tests for python-dateutil and pyyaml packages. Details can be found here: https://github.com/Nuitka/Nuitka/pull/418

In addition, I performed manual virtualenv pytest testing for the urllib3 package wheel built using nuitka. A pull request was made to document my work on the official nuitka.net website:  https://github.com/Nuitka/Nuitka-website/pull/10. The pull request was then merged, the full posting can be found here: https://nuitka.net/posts/urllib3-wheel-with-nuitka.html#

In summary, the tests passed with urllib3 and the results of uncompiled pytest was very similar to the nuitka-compiled pytest. However, there were a few minor differences. My aim is to make this process automatic to avoid having to manually perform testing for every PyPI package.

The plan for next week is to start automating the wheel nuitka tests with the top PyPI packages.
