Instead of benchmarking the kind of things we prefer to do in C, how about something like timing the sphinx build for the rst docs? This is something that represents a real and typical use of Python. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Antoine Pitrou" <solipsis@pitrou.net> To: "Michael Foord" <michael@voidspace.org.uk> Cc: "Collin Winter" <collinw@gmail.com>; "Michael Foord" <fuzzyman@voidspace.org.uk>; "stdlib-sig" <stdlib-sig@python.org> Sent: Saturday, April 04, 2009 5:52 PM Subject: [stdlib-sig] Benchmark suggestion
hi,
A possible benchmark addition could be json parsing/unparsing using the pure Python parts of the simplejson library.
Other things which would be interesting to measure: - a production-grade HTTP implementation (some parts of Twisted? something else?) - something involving Unicode
cheers
Antoine.
