Anyway, the ability of optionally passing in the number of iterations on the command line would also help with your opposite problem of too-fast machines -- if 50k loops just aren't enough for a reasonably-long run, you could use more.
Yup. As a matter of historical detail, pystone used to have LOOPS set to 1000; in 1997 I changed it to 10K, and in 2002 I bumped it again to 50K.
BTW, I'd gladly receive your patch for parameterizing LOOPS for inclusion into the standard Python library.
OK, I committed the modified pystone.py directly (I hope the change is small and "marginal" enough not to need formal review -- easy enough to back off if I've made some 'oops', anyway...). Alex
