Hi,

I released pyperf 1.7.0 and pyperformance 1.0.0. The major change is that pyperformance 1.0 dropped Python 2 support.

pyperformance changes between 0.9.1 and 1.0.0:

• Enable pyflate benchmarks on Python 3.

• Remove spambayes benchmark: it is not compatible with Python 3.

• Remove 2n3:benchmark group.

• Drop Python 2.7 support: old Django and Tornado versions are not compatible with incoming Python 3.9.

• Disable html5lib benchmark temporarily, since it's no longer compatible with Python 3.9.

• Update requirements:

  • Django: 1.11.22 => 3.0
  • Mako: 1.0.14 => 1.1.0
  • SQLAlchemy: 1.3.6 => 1.3.12
  • certifi: 2019.6.16 => 2019.11.28
  • docutils: 0.15.1 => 0.15.2
  • dulwich: 0.19.11 => 0.19.14
  • mercurial: 5.0.2 => 5.1.1
  • psutil: 5.6. => 5.6.7
  • pyperf: 1.6.1 => 1.7.0
  • six: 1.12. => 1.13.0
  • sympy: 1.4 => 1.5

pyperf changes between 1.6.1 to 1.7.0:

• metadata: add python_compiler
• Windows: inherit SystemDrive environment variable by default. Contribution by Steve Dower.
• Fix tests on ARM and PPC: cpu_model_name metadata is no longer required on Linux.
• tests: Do not allow test suite to execute without unittest2 on Python2, otherwise man failures occur due to missing 'assertRegex'. Contribution by John Vandenberg.
• doc: Update old/dead links.
• Travis CI: drop Python 3.4 support.

I'm working with Pablo Galindo to recompute all benchmarks on speed.python.org with these new versions. Previously, I always upgraded pyperf and pyperformance using git: I always ran the master branch of these projects. The problem is that when a dependency is upgrade (like Django), we don't know if the performance changed between of Python or the dependency. We will keep you in touch on the progress of this task.
