Fair point, let's have such a benchmark. Let's not have it called "bzr" though because it gives the wrong impression. The same way unladen swallow added a benchmark and called it "django" while not representing django very well. That said, likely not very many people use bzr, but still, would be good if it's called bzr-pyc or simpler - have a benchmark that imports a whole bunch of pyc from a big project (e.g. pypy :-) Cheers, fijal _______________________________________________ Speed mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/speed
