This report from LWN.net details a significant performance enhancement in the CPython interpreter achieved by replacing computed goto statements with tail calls in the bytecode execution loop The change, part of the Faster CPython project, leverages modern compiler attributes to enable better code generation, yielding benchmarked speedups around 10% and is expected in Python 3.14.

This examination by Nelson Elhage investigates the performance of CPython's new tail-calling interpreter, finding that initial reports of 10-15% speedups were significantly inflated due to an unrelated LLVM 19 compiler regression affecting the comparison baseline. When benchmarked against properly optimized older versions or compilers, the actual performance gain attributable to the new interpreter implementation itself is more modest, typically in the 1-5% range.

This piece examines why certain Python libraries, often used for web scraping and automation, can lead to noscripts being blocked or blacklisted by cloud providers and websites due to aggressive activity detection or security policies. It discusses specific libraries like Scrapy and Selenium, explains the reasons for potential bans, and offers strategies such as request throttling, using proxies/VPNs, and randomizing behavior to avoid detection.
