Pantyshot 0.2.1
— Frank — Share
Last month I noticed Upskirt on Github and since I also started with C on school around the same time I decided to make a Python extension/binding. It’s not much more than a simple wrapper that has almost the same API as the C library.
Go to the Pantyshot website for documentation and downloads.
I’ve also included a little benchmark in this release, but I forgot to mention it in the changelog. All the latest versions (at the time of writing) of the Markdown parsers that I could find on PyPi are included. Here are the results:
Pantyshot: 0.040000
Markdown: 4.900000
markdown2: 7.350000
cMarkdown: 0.090000
discount: 0.160000
That’s the output in seconds from Pythons' time.clock().
Pantyshot and cMarkdown are both bindings for Upskirt, but Pantyshot is twice as fast. This is because cMarkdown hasn’t been updated since April and lots of things has been changed in Upskirt since then. That probably causes the difference.
Markdown and markdown2 are both fully implemented in Python. discount is written in C. These three are slower than the Upskirt-based extensions.
The benchmark script and data can be found in the Github repository. The following versions of the Markdown extensions were used:
Pantyshot 0.2.1
Markdown 2.0.3
markdown2 1.0.1.17
cMarkdown 0.1.1
discount: 0.2.1STABLE
I ran the benchmark with Python 2.7.1 on Arch Linux.
