Benchmark tooling broken by the migration to Git
Hi,
The website speed.python.org is made of different tools which were written for Mercurial, but CPython moved to Git. These tools should be updated.
Tools:
- The Django application "codespeed"
- scripts/bench_cpython.py and scripts/bench_revisions.py of https://github.com/python/performance/
- my private tool to benchmark a patch -- short bash script, sorry I should put it in python/performance/scripts/ as well
- maybe others
Moreover, all benchmark results was generated using Mercurial commit identifiers. We must remove all of them and recompute all results using Git commit identifiers. It's not a big deal. It's just that someone has to do it.
I spent almost a year to fix all these minor things to get a working speed.python.org, so I'm not ready to do it right now. I may do the required changes later ;-)
If codespeed doesn't support Git, I suggest to drop the list of changes between two commits on the https://speed.python.org/changes/ tab. I'm now trying to only compute benchmarks manually something like once per week, because the UI doesn't handle well too many points, and because performance don't change every day ;-) The changes/ tab is very slow when there is a long list of commits, whereas it's very easy to get this list using Git directly, GitHub, or whatever. I don't think that it's very useful on the website.
