Actually the benchmark for Python was included with Julia. The file is here: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/test/perf/perf.py I did actually use the standard Python interpreter (CPython) and the program use numpy but if you can give a look to the file by yourself. In my point of view it was a quite correct implementation and is not surprising that CPython is soooo much slower :-) Francesco
