No, I had six months -- the benchmark wasn't written until early January this year, at which point I had more important things to do and put it off. For too long as it turned out, since I didn't even take a serious look at it until late May.

This was never a "Python people" vs "Parrot people" bet. It was personal, between Guido and me, and I didn't factor in enough time to allow for delays, so I lost.
