  Description     : Python benchmarking tool with web-based reporting

airspeed velocity (asv) is a tool for benchmarking Python packages over their lifetime.

It is primarily designed to benchmark a single project over its lifetime
using a given suite of benchmarks. The results are displayed in an interactive
web frontend that requires only a basic static webserver to host.

See an example airspeed velocity site: https://pv.github.io/numpy-bench/

It provides asv python module but not sure yet (since not really familiar with
it) if needs it to be public  (and thus provide python-asv pkg).  User
interactions seems primarily to happen via  asv  command line tool.

Thanks in advance to anyone who would ITP it! ;)
