When dealing with these issues, please consider also startup time. Python is
already "pretty slow" at startup, and I hope Py3k doesn't get any worse (it
should get much better, if anything). I'm sure you all can find out a way to
rationalite these startup import stuff so that they are faster. I'm afraid I
don't have any constructive suggestion since I'm not knowledgable enough.
$ strace python -c "print ''" 2>&1 | wc -l
855
$ strace perl -e "print ''" 2>&1 | wc -l
327
Stuff like:
stat64("/usr/lib/python24.zip/posixpath", 0xbfd8f934) = -1 ENOENT (No such
file or directory)
open("/usr/lib/python24.zip/posixpath.so", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT
(No such file or directory)
open("/usr/lib/python24.zip/posixpathmodule.so", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/lib/python24.zip/posixpath.py", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT
(No such file or directory)
open("/usr/lib/python24.zip/posixpath.pyc", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
is at least questionable, given that /usr/lib/python24.zip does not even
exist.
