Hi all, Apologies for emailing this list with such an apparently trivial question. Is there some source of documentation or information on how Python is benchmarked? I am aware of the Python regression testing module, regrtest.py, which I presume, if profiled, would good be a good baseline test.
PyPy maintains http://speed.pypy.org/, which provides very clear information about the relative performance of PyPy trunk against some version of cpython (presumably 2.6 or 2.7). I'm not aware of a similar site for cpython, but that could easily just be my ignorance speaking. My interest is that I'm looking at building a benchmarking solution at work. and I can't think of a better way to build something good and general than to try and write something that could potentially be released as open source and be useful to others. As such I thought that benchmarking cpython would be a great use case, but I want to find out as much as I can about how people currently go about benchmarking Python. Initially I'm just looking at CPU profiling since it's easiest. Anyway, if this is the wrong place to send this email, I'm very sorry for clogging up your inbox. Thanks very much, -Tennessee
