I just found an annoying bit in PySide.__init__ while examining application start-up time. On my windows 7 32 bit machine, the call to QtNetwork.QSslSocket.supportsSsl() takes almost exactly 1 second. This seems inappropriate to me to force that call at that location since it takes that long. Many applications would be conceivable that don't use QtNetwork at all or ssl but they all need to pay that cost.
A related point is that I might want to use QSplashScreen but the most basic PySide import already imposes this 1-second delay. That partly defeats the purpose of the splash screen. My question is two-fold then: 1) Is there a plausible way to generally delay the action until it is more specifically needed? 2) Is there a way I can forcibly remove that check for myself in a maintainable way? Well, there is sort of an answer to #2 by deleting the openssl directory since my app uses pure python for network access (if any) -- that's ugly to have to delete it though. It's frustrating that I can't monkey patch this because I have to import PySide to monkeypatch and then the time is already wasted.
