[Python-Dev] Pie-thon benchmarks (original) (raw)

Not to push, folks, but the python dev community was going to write the benchmark program for the pie-off Guido and I are going to have at OSCON 2004. We're supposed to have the bytecode for the program frozen by the end of December 2003, a mere 16 days away. (I could just go with pystone, I suppose, but even .NET's faster on that one...)

I am well aware of this. I've got some ideas and am working on them. Do you remember the exact set of rules we agreed on? I think metaclasses are in, and I/O is out, but I don't recall whether regular expressions are in or out.
