I vote for a separate mailing list -- 'python-tests'? -- but I don't know exactly how splintered to make the conversation. It probably belongs at python.org but if you want me to host it, I can.

If too many things get moved off to SIGs there won't be anything left for python-dev to talk about ;) There is already an stdlib-sig, which has been almost unused. stdlib-sig isn't quite right (the testing and benchmarking are as much about core python as the stdlib) - although we could view the benchmarks and tests themselves as part of the standard library... Either way we should get it underway. Collin and Jeffrey - happy to use stdlib-sig? Works for me. Me too. bcc python-dev, -> stdlib-sig First question: Do people want the unladen-swallow performance tests in the CPython repository until the whole library gets moved out? If so, where? Tools/performance? Lib/test/benchmarks?

I'm +1 on including them (so long as they run under trunk of course) but agnostic on location.

Maybe better not in test as it might be expected that a full regrtest would then run them?

I'm keeping Python-dev cc'd as it is a Python-dev decision and bcc messages require individual admin approval.
