[issue15369] pybench and test.pystone poorly documented

STINNER Victor added the comment: I'm closing the issue again. Again, pybench moved to http://github.com/python/performance : please continue the discussion there if you consider that we still need to do something on pybench. FYI I reworked deeply pybench recently using the new perf 0.8 API.

[issue15369] pybench and test.pystone poorly documented

STINNER Victor added the comment: We now have a good and stable benchmark suite: https://github.com/python/performance I removed pystone and pybench from Python 3.7. Please use performance instead of old and not reliable microbenchmarks like pybench or pystone. -- nosy: +haypo resolut

[issue15369] pybench and test.pystone poorly documented

Antoine Pitrou added the comment: I don't really think they deserve documenting. pystones can arguably be a cheap and easy way of comparing performance of different systems *using the exact same Python interpreter*. It's the only point of running pystones. As for pybench, it probably had a po

[issue15369] pybench and test.pystone poorly documented

Brett Cannon added the comment: The Unladen Swallow benchmarks are in no way specific to JITs; it is a set of thorough benchmarks for measuring the overall performance of a Python VM. As for speed.python.org, we know that it is currently not being updated as we are waiting for people to have

Florent Xicluna added the comment: Actually, I discovered "python -m test.pystone" during the talk of Mike Müller at EuroPython. http://is.gd/fasterpy Even if they are suboptimal for true benchmarks, they should probably be mentioned somewhere. In the same paragraph, there should be a link to

[issue15369] pybench and test.pystone poorly documented

New submission from Florent Xicluna : The benchmarking tools "pystones" and "pybench" which are shipped with the Python standard distribution are not documented. The only information is in the what's-new for Python 2.5: http://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/2.5.html?highlight=pybench#new-improved
