Hi, After profiling a small python script I found that approximately 50% of the runtime of my script was consumed by one line: "import copy". Another 15% was the startup of the interpreter, but that is OK for an interpreted language. The copy library is used by another library I am using for my scripts. Importing copy takes 5-10 times more time that import os, string and re together! I noticed that this lib is implemented in python, not in C. As I can imagine that *a lot* of libs/scripts use the copy library, I think it worthwhile to implement this lib in C. Unfortunately I cannot do this myself: I am relatively inexperienced with python and do not know C.
