The pyperformance project is useful for running benchmarks in a consistent way and for analyzing the results. The CPython project uses it to generate the results you can find on https://speed.python.org. The "faster cpython" project, on which I work with Guido and others, is also using it regularly.

We'd like to incorporate the benchmarks here into the suite we run. That involves getting them to run under pyperformance. (Note that pyperformance hasn't supported running external benchmarks, but I recently changed/am changing that.) I'm happy to do the work to update the benchmarks here. (Actually, I already did it, in part to verify the changes I made to pyperformance.)

So there are a few questions to answer:

• are there any objections to updating these benchmarks to work with pyperformance? (I'll do the work.)
• would it be okay if the output format from the benchmarks changes?
• would it be okay to change the command for invoking these benchmarks? (use pyperformance directly instead of the existing "run_all.sh" script)

Aside from that, I'll need help to verify that my changes preserve the intent of each benchmark.

Keep in mind that this change will allow you (and us) to take advantage of pyperformance for results stability and analysis, as well as posting results to speed.python.org. (You'd have to talk to @pablogsal about the possibility of posting results there.)

So, what do you think? I'd be glad to jump into a call to discuss, if that would help.
