Chris, I think that's exactly what BartC has done: he has a program that he
actually uses, one which processes JPG files. It's written in pure Python,
so he's not comparing the quality of C libraries, he's comparing Python
versus Python.
I haven't looked at his code, so I don't know if its a fair comparison of
Python versus Bart's Private Language. But that's not the point. Idiomatic
Python or not, "best practice" production level code or not, it is a fair
comparison of Python 2 versus Python 3, or CPython versus PyPy, because
it's the same Python code being run each time.
Comparing the quality of programmers by the time for which they ran a
sprint is not fair.
