Why do you want to drop it? It's a piece of Python code which does lots of string manipulation, so it's a very good benchmark to compare different Python versions and/or different Python implementations. If the reason is "this is no longer going to represent the overall performance of django because the newest version of django uses something different", then I suggest to simply change the name of the benchmark.

But up to date with what? Just because your benchmark is running with an older version of Django doesn't mean that the performance indications it gives are not valid anymore. Regards Antoine.

I don't know, what is the point of dropping it? It makes it less easy to compare Python 2 and Python 3 performance, right? Regards Antoine.

I see, it's limitation due to how the benchmarking script works. Then I guess it's up to you :-) I admit, I find the whole virtual environment thing annoying. If I even want to run *one* benchmark, it starts downloading and installing *every* potentially useful third-party library. Regards Antoine.

Django 2.0 doesn't introduce a lot of new features or performance improvements to the template engine and 1.11 is an LTS release. I'd say keep Django 1.11 for now. --Berker

Antoine: what do you think? I disagree. pickle is an integral part of Python, it's versioned *with* Python. Django is not and it's misleading to compare results obtained using two differents of it. Regards Antoine.

How do you plan to make numbers comparable if you change the Django version for a given benchmark? The only solution IMHO is to add a different benchmark. Perhaps you should also probably wait for a bugfix release or two :-) Regards Antoine.

I agree. Antoine: what do you think? >> Perhaps you should also probably wait for a bugfix release or two :-) > > I agree. Well, I wrote "2.0", but the latest release is "2.0.1", released a few days ago: https://pypi.org/project/Django/ Victor
