PyStone, while stable, is not a very complete test of Python's capabilities.
PyBench is useful, though it does a lot of repetitious operations and would
be easy prey for a little variable lifetime analysis.  Markus, if you have a
test suite you use and would be willing to release to others, I would
encourage you to do so.
