pts/parboil-1.2.1 not working with Python 3

[chenming1986]

The parboil benchmark contains some syntax that are not compatible with Python 3, for example, print "". Since Python 2 is already end of life and is no longer supported by distros like Clear Linux, is there any plan to update the benchmark to work with Python 3?

Thanks.

Below is the output of phoronix-test-suite debug-run parboil-1.2.1 on Clear Linux 32100:

The Phoronix Test Suite is tracking the upstream Parboil (http://impact.crhc.illinois.edu/parboil/parboil.aspx). When checking just now, it appears Parboil hasn't seen any new releases beyond what is already incorporated in the Phoronix Test Suite, so this would be an upstream issue with them regarding porting to Python 3. Alternatively, if anyone ports Parboil to Python 3 themselves, happy to carry a patch in the interim as part of the test profile.

Thanks for the reply, Michael. I'm closing the issue given no newer version of parboil is available for now.
