Hey all,
I have whipped up two python scripts for the Harmonic benchmark.  The
first script (harmonicFunc) is shorter, but takes longer to run.  The
secondScript (harmonicProc) is faster, but uses more lines of code.
Feel free to use either of them to flesh out the benchmarks.

print "%.9f" % (partialSum)
