Re: [Python-Dev] django_v2 benchmark compatibility fix for Python 3.6

Hi all, Based on the feedback I received, I updated the patch to introduce django_v3 benchmark, which uses django 1.8. Also, django_v2 was deprecated for Python 3.6 and above. In order for django_v3 to work, the latest django release must be present in lib/Django-1.8. Django-1.8 is attached as a zip file because the patch would be too large if it included all these files. In order for the modifications to work, extract the archive to lib/Django-1.8 . Please see the issue here: http://bugs.python.org/issue24934 Thank you, Florin Papa On Tue, 25 Aug 2015 at 08:31 R.

I would like to submit a patch that solves compatibility issues of the django_v2 benchmark in the Grand Unified Python Benchmark. The django_v2 benchmark uses inspect.getargspec(), which is deprecated and was removed in Python 3.6. Therefore, it crashes with the message "ImportError: cannot import name 'getargspec'" when using the latest version of Python on the default branch.

The patch modifies the benchmark to use inspect.signature() when Python version is 3.6 or above and keep using inspect.getargspec() otherwise.

Note that Papa has submitted the patch to the tracker:

I'm not myself sure how we are maintaining that repo (https://hg.python.org/benchmarks), but it does seem like the bug tracker is the right place for such a patch.

Is the django_v2 benchmark original to benchmarks, or a copy from django?

Yeah, that's one question that was in my mind when I said I don't know how we maintain that repo.  I'm pretty sure it was originally a copy of the django project, but how do we maintain it? It's maintained by primarily Antoine and me occasionally doing stuff to it. =) Traditionally bugs have been reported to bugs.python.org. As for the django_v2 benchmark, it was created by Unladen Swallow (it's v2 because it was updated to work with Django 1.5 so as to get Python 3 support for the benchmark). IOW it's out own benchmark and we can do whatever we want with it.
