Make perf.py usable by other Python implementations #120

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
This issue will track necessary improvements to perf.py to make it usable 
by PyPy, Jython, IronPython and any other Python implementations that pop 
up. We should eliminate CPython-specific flags or environment variables.

Known issues:
- PyPy does not support the -E flag. We should set an empty PYTHONPATH 
instead, since in practice, this is the variable we're most interested in 
controlling.
- PyPy would like to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but perf.py uses an empty 
environment by default. perf.py should grow an --inherit_env flag that 
allows the user to whitelist certain environment variables to pass through 
to the child processes. Having an explicit flag makes for nice 
documentation about benchmark parameters/setup.

Please append any other problems to this bug report so we have a master 
list.

A patch to kill usage of -E. We tested it and it seems to be consistently 
clearing
PYTHONPATH in places that needs it (most of places cleared PYTHONPATH anyway).

Another patch (relative to the previous one) adding --inherit_env command line
option. Those two patches are enough to make PyPy work with perf.py.

Note: Jython obeys JYTHONPATH instead of PYTHONPATH.

A strange bug if the benchmark run reports the same numbers all over the place 
(can
happen in non time-based benchmarks). Patch attached.

A bunch of patches for pypy in one chunk. Mostly it's about being able to wrap
perf.py around.

r1014 sets JYTHONPATH to support Jython. The latest Jython release fails on 
some 
benchmarks (like html5lib and nbody), but the other benchmarks I've tested work.

One subproject that would be useful here would be to make 2to3 able to be run 
under 
Python 2.5 so that Jython, PyPy, IronPython, etc can run it. This may be as 
simple as 
adding "from __future__ import with_statement" imports in 2to3, then updating 
the 
version being used in the benchmark suite.
