How tests were ran? There are two implementations of ElementTree, accelerated and non-accelerated. xml.etree.ElementTree by default is accelerated in Python 3, but non-accelerated in Python 2. $ python2.7 bm_elementtree.py -n 7 --take_geo_mean 0.463665158795 $ python2.7 bm_elementtree.py -n 7 --take_geo_mean --etree-module=xml.etree.ElementTree 5.46309932568 $ python3.4 bm_elementtree.py -n 7 --take_geo_mean --etree-module=xml.etree.ElementTree 0.813397633467649 $ python3.4 bm_elementtree.py -n 7 --take_geo_mean --etree-module=xml.etree.ElementTree --no-accelerator 5.31174765817514 If run the test with the same options --etree-module=xml.etree.ElementTree, it will use accelerated implementation in Python 3 and non-accelerated in Python 2. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25638> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
