Maybe we want to use this as a benchmark as a test of 'I didn't know how to write optimised code but PyPy did it anyway?'

More or less for archival purposes. Sometimes when you need code like this, you cannot seem to find any ...

Don't use this example. I have looked at it and it's nothing more than a test how slow python is with function calls. Some of the code is never called and it's very bad written example. Simple function call test in a loop does the same for a benchmark. But if you need it as example for 'I didn't know how to write code but PyPy did it anyway' then it's a nice example. :-) bye by Wolfgang
