"""Compares the performance of AstroPy between different versions of Python (2.7 vs 3.x).

This script reads AstroPy's benchmarking output (cf. github.com/astropy/astropy-benchmarks.git)
as generated by the airspeed velocity benchmarking package (cf. asv.readthedocs.io).
It then compares & plots the median execution time for different Python versions.
