Summary: Allow __class __ assignment for classes with __slots__
Initial Comment:
I made a modification in typeobject.c to allow __class__ modification for classes with slots. It's basically a change in same_slots_added to count the offset of the slots and check if the names of the slots are the same (in the naive way).
I don't check if slots are in a different order, that may be an improve.
The patch is against trunk, with some tests. It's my first submission on Python, so every feedback will be welcome :).

The ht_slots tuple can't contain unicode names;
they are converted to strings in type_new(). type_new()
also raises an error for any non string object found in
__slots__. At the end of type_new(), ht_slots tuple can
only contain valid identifiers minus __weakref__ and
__dict__.
I changed the patch to use PyObject_Compare() anyway,
because it reduces the amount of code. I also removed
whitespace changes in the docs, changed the tests as
suggested and added a test with unicode slots.

I guess you mean "remove them" ?

It seems __slots__ can be unicode, but only with ascii content. This
behavior is a bit weird...

Ziga, there are a lot of changes to the doc that appear to be whitespace
only. Could you review them from the patch before checkin? If you want to
make whitespace/formatting changes, that's fine, but it's a lot easier to
review if there are 2 separate checkins.
In the test, it looks like it would be much easier to unpack the classes
in the loop, since you know there are two. That would eliminate 2 of the
inner loops which don't seem necessary.
for cls1, cls2 in ((G, H), (P, Q)):
Also, when doing data driven tests, it's important to add an error message
about which iteration failed. Right now, you wouldn't know if G/H failed
or P/Q failed since the line number will be the same. If you add a message
to the assertions which contains data, then it's clear from the message
which one failed.
typeobject.c
I see _PyString_Eq is used. It's possible that __slots__ contain unicode,
possibly other types (I didn't check). What happens if non-strings are in
__slots__ with this patch applied?
The calculation for size could be done outside the loop with a multiply.
I don't know which would be faster. I don't really care which is used
either. Just something I noticed.

The only problem that I see with this patch is that
slot names have to be listed in both classes in the
same order for __class__ assignment to work. This
could have strange consequences when a dict is used
for __slots__.
I'm attaching a patch that fixes this, with modified
test and documentation. The change had to be done
in type_new() function, by sorting slotnames before
the creation of member descriptors. Most of the
documentation changes are whitespace cleanup.

The PyObject * cast is reduntant, but otherwise the
patch looks good to me. I added a few more tests,
but I can't attach a file so I posted them here:

Thanks, I wasn't able to find this function.
I updated the patch for using this.

You should use _PyString_Eq() for string comparison instead
of relying on the internal details of PyStringObject.

Review five other patches.
Post the review summaries (and tracker numbers) to the python-dev mailing
list.
In that same message, ask someone with commit privileges to do the 5:1
deal, pointing at this tracker number.

Is there anything I can do to have a resolution on this ?
Thanks.

Just going through the list doesn't seem so naive to me. If the slots are
in a different order, then you would need to move the data around -- which
borders on "maybe they ought to have written the translator themselves"
