Yeah, now is working and passes all tests also on my machine.
I've tried to run the test suite but I'm getting a SyntaxError:
(may be you know it's just the first time that I try the tool):
=============================
ci at random:~/prog/cpython/benchmarks$ python perf.py -r -b apps python 
../cpython_new_dict/python

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
=============================
And the baseline is: Python 2.7.2+ (but it also gives me an SyntaxError 
running on
python3 default (e50db1b7ad7b)
What I'm doing wrong ? (from it's doc: “This project is intended to be an
authoritative source of benchmarks for all Python implementations.”)
Thanks in advance !
