We already compare different libraries.  For example, pickle is very different
between Python 2.7 and 3.6.
Even though it's not good for comparing interpreter performance, it's good
for people comparing Python 2 and 3.

If Django 2.0 on Python 3.7 is much faster than Django 1.11 on Python 2.7,
it's nice carrot for people moving forward.
