pymicrobench

My collection of Python microbenchmarks written for CPython.

Benchmarks were written to make sure that a change makes CPython faster.

The code is distributed under the MIT license: see the COPYING file.

Benchmarks were written in 2016, and so mostly for CPython 3.6.

The Python pyperf module <http://pyperf.readthedocs.io/>_ is needed by benchmarks. Install perf using::

python3 -m pip install -U pyperf

Read pyperf documentation to see how to run stable benchmarks (ex: tune your system for benchmarking).
