a sprinter edging out his opponent by Dall-e
It's about time to release Markata 0.3.0. I've had 8 pre-releases since the
last release, but more importantly it has about 3 months of updates. Many of
which are just cleaning up bad practices that were showing up as hot spots on
my pyinstrument reports
Markata started off partly as a python developer frustrated with using nodejs for everything, and a desire to learn how to make frameworks in pluggy. Little did I know how flexible pluggy would make it. It started out just as my blog generator, but has turned into quite a bit more.
Over time this side project has grown some warts and some of them were now becoming a big enough issue it was time to cut them out.
Let's compare
I like to use my tils articles for examples and tests like this as there are enough articles for a good test, but they are pretty short and quick to render.
mkdir ~/git/tils/tils cp ~/git/waylonwalker.com/pages/til/ ~/tils/tils -r cd ~/git/tils/tils
running tils on 0.2.0
At the time of writing this is the current version of markata, so just make a new venv and run it.
python3 -m venv .venv --prompt $(basename $PWD) pip install markata markata clean markata build
cold tils: 14.523 warm tils: 1.028
running tils on 0.3.0b8
python3 -m venv .venv --prompt $(basename $PWD) # --pre installs pre-releases that include a b in their version name pip install markata --pre markata clean markata build
cold tils: 11.551 (+20%) warm tils: 0.860 (+16%)
pyinstrument
These measurements were taken with pyinstrument mostly out of convenience since there is already a pyinstrument hook built in, but also because I like pyinstrument.
Here is the pyinstrument report from the last run.
My Machine
This comparison was not very exhaustive. It was ran on my pretty new to me Ryzen 5 3600 machine.
The changes
Most of these changes revolve in how the lifecycle is ran. It was trying to be extra cautious and run previous steps for you if it thought it might be needes, in reality it was rerunning a few steps multiple times no matter what.
The other thing I turned off by default, but can be opted into, is beautifulasoup's prettify. That was one of the slower steps ran on my site.
0.3.0
It should be out by the time you see this, I wanted to compare the changes I had made and make sure that it was still making forward progress and thought I would share the results.
