[issue23253] Delay-load ShellExecute[AW] in os.startfile
Steve Dower added the comment: Attached a patch. Comparing the time for python.exe -c '0' with Powershell's Measure-Command tool, it looks like there's a 3-4ms (~8-10%) improvement in startup time too. That's not at all robust, but it's certainly no worse. (I'm not surprised - shell32.dll is a horrendously big dependency and we're better off without it.) -- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file37743/23253.diff ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue23253 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue23253] Delay-load ShellExecute[AW] in os.startfile
New submission from Steve Dower: Currently, pythonXY.dll has a dependency on shell32.dll solely for the os.startfile (Modules/posixmodule.c) function. This is quite a heavy dependency that many would rather not have to load (e.g. lightweight server configurations). It would be nice to delay load the DLL and fail the operation if it is not available. (This is as much a reminder for myself as anything else, but if someone wants to do it then feel free.) -- components: Windows messages: 234151 nosy: steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Delay-load ShellExecute[AW] in os.startfile type: enhancement versions: Python 3.5 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue23253 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
