(this message is OT for c.l.py, sorry) The "random Fortran Intel program" at http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/benchmark.php?test=random&lang=ifc&id=0&sort=fullcpu is said to have 40 lines, but excluding blank lines and comment lines (those that start with "!") I count 22. The "ackermann Fortran Intel program" at http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/benchmark.php?test=ackermann&lang=ifc&id=0&sort=fullcpu is wrongly said to have 0 lines. There are other cases of these problems. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
