Understanding the Pystone measurement

[tleeuwenburg at gmail.com]

Hi there,

Is there a good writeup of what the pystone measurement actually
means? I'm working on benchmarking of some Python code at work, and
I'm interested in how Pystone might be relevant to me. I've tried
googling, but I can't find any introductory / definitional
descriptions of what this module/measurement means.

Any pointers much appreciated!

Regards,
