[Python-checkins] [Languages Performance Portal update] New Python results and summary

[lp_benchmark_robot]

Dear Subscriber,

We are glad to announce you that we upgraded the Languages Performance infrastructure used for Python project to Broadwell server and OS to Ubuntu Server 16.04.2. LTS Starting today we are publishing again results for Python 2 & 3 !

Major changes brought by this refresh are:
* Format change for the email subject of the Python daily bulletin status. Expect to see [x up, y down, z flat], where x, y, z represent how many workloads share the same status.
* Re-organization of the summary of the mail bulletins and LPP posts. 
* We are now running ALL the workloads available in version 0.5.4 of the Python Performance Benchmark Suite (68 for Python 2 and 65 for Python 3, excluding pybench microbenchmark suite)
* Automation code was refactored such that we can re-use it for the rest of languages on the portal. 

You can check the new configuration here: https://01.org/documentation/python-environment-setup.

Best regards,
Datacenter Scripting Languages Optimizations Team

Our lab does a nightly source pull and build of the Python project and measures performance changes against the previous stable version and the previous nightly measurement. This is provided as a service to the community so that quality issues with current hardware can be identified quickly.

Intel technologies' features and benefits depend on system configuration and may require enabled hardware, software or service activation. Performance varies depending on system configuration.
