2006-05-27 Thread Alex Martelli
So a guy on the Italian Mac newsgroup (it.comp.lang.macintosh) went to the trouble of downloading and installing the new XCode 2.3 -- almost a GB download!!! -- and now says PyObjC doesn't compile any more (so he's reverted XCode to 2.2.1). Unfortunately he didn't copy- and-paste the error

[Pythonmac-SIG] 2.4.3 performance, Macbook Pro vs iBook G4 12"

2006-04-06 Thread Alex Martelli
I'm wondering about comparative performance -- shouldn't a Macbook Pro 2.0 GHz be VASTLY faster than a humble iBook G4 12" (1.33 GHz PPC G4)? And yet, pybench 1.0 tells me: 7806 ms on the iBook, 7721 on the Macbook; also, the iBook measures at 22026 pystones/sec, the Macbook at 22624. Tha
