Martin Panter added the comment: If this is still a problem, you should narrow down what is causing the slowdown. If you interrupt it, what is the stack trace?
My best guess is perhaps there is a bypass hostname setting and a slow or failing DNS lookup. A call to urllib.proxy_bypass() was added in 2.6.4 for Issue 6894, and in 2.6.5 the Windows registry implementation called gethostname() and gethostbyname(). Perhaps this is fixed by Issue 1648102. ---------- components: +Windows -None nosy: +martin.panter, paul.moore, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware status: open -> pending superseder: -> proxy_bypass in urllib handling of <local> macro title: Proxy handling -> Proxy handling very slow _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8238> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
