[New-bugs-announce] [issue15369] pybench and test.pystone poorly documented

[Florent Xicluna]

New submission from Florent Xicluna <florent.xicluna at gmail.com>:

The benchmarking tools "pystones" and "pybench" which are shipped with the Python standard distribution are not documented.

The only information is in the what's-new for Python 2.5:
http://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/2.5.html?highlight=pybench#new-improved-and-removed-modules

IMHO, they should be mentioned somewhere in the HOWTOs, the FAQ or the standard library documentation ("Development Tools" or "Debugging and Profiling")
