Speed test for Python 3.11

This is a simple speed test to compare Python 3.11 to previous python version from 3.5 to 3.10.

Blog post

This is the code which belongs to a blog post you can find here.

Requirements

Python environment to run the tester
Docker to download each Python Env.

Usage:

python run_main_all_versions_test.py

Monte Carlo Pi estimation

For this I us a Pi estimation. Not sure if this is the best workload but it is at least Python heavy.

Result

The new Python 3.11 took 4.891 seconds per run.

Python 3.5 took 7.089 seconds per run. (Python 3.11 is 44.9% faster)
Python 3.6 took 7.0434 seconds per run. (Python 3.11 is 44.0% faster)
Python 3.7 took 7.1027 seconds per run. (Python 3.11 is 45.2% faster)
Python 3.8 took 7.579 seconds per run. (Python 3.11 is 55.0% faster)
Python 3.9 took 7.0289 seconds per run. (Python 3.11 is 43.7% faster)s
Python 3.10 took 6.0265 seconds per run. (Python 3.11 is 23.2% faster)
