Turns out it relies on internal APIs that either don't exist on other interpreters (e.g., IronPython), or they change which leads to breakage of the benchmark (e.g., already changed for Python 3.2 and 3.3). Probably best to retire it rather than continuing to try and prop it up.

That sounds reasonable to me. It's a pity there isn't an official way to compile without caching.

The public API for cache clearing is re.purge(). > It's a pity there isn't an official way to compile without caching. See .

New changeset 0da7b44c2ea3 by Brett Cannon in branch 'default': Use re.purge() to clear the re cache. https://hg.python.org/benchmarks/rev/0da7b44c2ea3
