   At the top of Tools/ccbench/ccbench.py is this comment dating from 2010 (probably in the initial version):

   # This file should be kept compatible with both Python 2.6 and Python >= 3.0.

   Is there still a need for 2.6 compatibility in what is essentially a test script? There are probably only a few changes necessary to remove 2.x compatibility, but it seems odd to retain them when even the Python library documentation no longer has versionchanged/versionadded directives referencing Python 2.x.

   Lukasz, is 'delete it' the no-brainer it seems to be?

   CCbench was mentioned recently in the discussion about Sam Gross's nogil branch:

   https://mail.python.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/WRT7F2RHHCQ3N2TYEDC6JSIJ4T2ZM6F7/

   I'm not convinced that deleting it is a no-brainer. Maybe if it landed somewhere generally useful (pyperformance?).

   By 'it' I meant the comment and 2.6 compatibility you asked about.

   Closing since this 2.6 is EOL and ccbench was removed. Thanks for digging up old issues that can be closed!
