Hi all - just letting you know that we recently integrated Fabric with Python. Fabric is a high-performance multi-threading engine that integrates with dynamic languages. We're releasing soon (probably under AGPL), and we just released these benchmarks.
http://fabric-engine.com/2012/02/fabric-engine-python-value-at-risk-benchmark/ Before anyone starts attacking the vanilla python :), the point we want to make is that our Python integration performs just as well as our Node.js implementation (benchmarks found at http://fabric-engine.com/tag/benchmarks/). Obviously, it's pretty trivial to compile Python to byte code, and present multi-threaded versions of the program - however, the goal of Fabric is to handle that side of things automatically (that's what the engine does). This means we take care of threading, dynamic compilation, memory management etc Interested to get your feedback. Kind regards, Paul (I work at Fabric) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
