I recently upgraded my dual-processor G5 from Mac OS X 10.3 to 10.4.
Ever since, the python initialization has been extremely slow, maybe
10 seconds or so between issuing the "python" command and getting a
prompt. I run some automated tests on this machine, and the delays
can add up, dwarfing the actual execution time.
The problem persists whether I:
* Run python 2.4.2 (/sw/bin/python, compiled w/GCC 4.0.0) or
2.3.5 (/usr/bin/python, compiled w/GCC 3.3)
* Run with or without a PYTHONSTARTUP file
* Run under bash 3.00.0(1) (/sw/bin/bash) or 2.05b.0(1) (/bin/bash)
Has anyone else seen this behavior? Or have a solution? (Similarly,
although less related to this mailing list, when I try to use tab-
completion under bash, I get a long delay as well.)
Thanks
