Python + Fabric Engine benchmarks - as fast as multi-threaded C++

Hi all - you might remember the Fabric benchmarks we did with node.js last year. We've now integrated Fabric with Python as well, so I thought I'd share the news.

An important change since last time - Fabric will be released as OSS (probably AGPL). We will take the usual commercial license/subscription approach (similar to 10gen with mongo).

Obviously there are plenty of ways to make the Python code faster - the purpose of the benchmark is to show the same performance as we achieved with node.js, within the same paradigm (dynamic compilation etc).

Thanks,

Paul
