For this sort of benchmarking you don’t want to know what it should find, that would be a functional test and not a benchmark. Compiling and profiling reasonably complex apps against baseline would be enough.

Yes, my collection that I put together over the years. Hence “my.”

Yep. I am fine with artists contacting me if they want their work credited or removed. I only did it because it seemed like a good idea to secure them somewhere.

After seeing a few of the sites go down it seemed like a good idea to put it under source control. I don't claim rights to any of these works.

Why won’t new deployments break? If they are using ‘pip’ to install 2.x libraries, my understanding is it will now fail.

That creates a good business model for someone to come along and charge a premium to fix security bugs in old code. I think it’s more likely something like that will happen, than everyone moving their code to work on 3.x.

You assume they will move forward, when they most likely won’t. It’s not a tax, it’s a product targeted at a guaranteed line of revenue. If 3.x were ever deprecated, they would start charging for that version. There probably aren’t enough u

It’s the closest example I could think of to draw on. This is a good example of what I was talking about. Python 2.x isn’t “going away very quickly now.”
