<shameless plug> For anyone attending PyCon, I'll be presenting a poster session entitled "Behind the Iron Curtain: How Python is Tested at Microsoft". Any ways, one of the focuses of this session is our old performance lab infrastructure. Not only will you hear some details about how performance testing is accomplished at Microsoft, we're also very interested in hearing from YOU! E.g., are the benchmarks we're running really relevant or should we be using Unladen Swallow's metrics? The update to our perf infrastructure Dino mentions below will give us a chance to make some major improvements in this area. We'd like to base these changes off of the Python community's valuable feedback. </shameless plug>

Years ago when we were on the CLR team we wired up everything to run on their perf testing infrastructure. They've since moved on and we've been running on the old stuff that's been bit-rotting away. But the Developer Division has some division-wide infrastructure that we should have switched to long ago. But whatever the infrastructure is we can run whatever tests. We do want to bring the Unladen Swallow tests in and that'll be something to do after we've made the switch. I know some of their infrastructure works fine - I can run individual test cases because I was looking at html5lib for fun just last week (and fixed a bug which prevented html5lib from running but the test stuff ran fine). But I'm not sure all of their infrastructure will run fine. They used to have a dependency on subprocess that could still be there somewhere higher in their perf testing stack. But they've also had a bug open to get it running on other implementations so maybe that's been fixed. -----Original Message----- From: users-boun...@lists.ironpython.com [mailto:users-boun...@lists.ironpython.com] On Behalf Of Jeff Hardy Sent: Monday, February 15, 2010 3:00 PM To: Discussion of IronPython Subject: Re: [IronPython] Django, __unicode__, and #20366 On Mon, Feb 15, 2010 at 3:57 PM, Dino Viehland <di...@microsoft.com> wrote: > This was relatively easy, it was just work once Michael came up with the > great idea.

They seem pretty comprehensive. - Jeff _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
