Antoine Pitrou added the comment: I would add another kind of question: is it stressing something useful that isn't already stressed by the two other regex benchmarks we already have?
Given that it seems built around a highly-specialized use case (DNA matching?) and we don't even know if regular expressions are actually the tool of choice in the field (unless someone here is a specialist), I'm rather skeptical. (in general, everything coming the "Computer Language Benchmarks Game" should be taken with a grain of salt IMHO: it's mostly people wanting to play writing toy programs) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26436> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
