It seems abundantly clear to me that testing recursion is the point of writing a benchmark implementing recursion (and very little of anything else). Again, you can decide for yourself the suitability of the benchmark, but I don't think you can really claim it doesn't effectively test what it means to. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
