Testing checklist

Python

• Download the archive from http://ilyaraz.org/FALCONN-1.1.tar.gz
• Unzip it
• Run python setup.py install from the resulting folder; ideally, should be done within a virtual environment (can be easily created via virtualenv); NumPy and setuptools must be installed
• Run python benchmark/random_benchmark.py from the same folder, report the results
• Run py.test test/wrapper_test.py from the same folder (for this step, py.test must be installed)
• Do the above for both Python 2 and Python 3 (ideally, using two fresh virtual environments)
• Report if something fails and the results of the random benchmark (for both Python 2 and Python 3)
