New submission from Denniver <bitsp...@gmx.net>:
The seemingly unlimited growth of the ".python_history"-file seems to cause a massive slowdown when starting or exiting python, the same after running commands. On one machine python took about 3 minutes to start and I found out that while it is seemingly doing nothing, it was constantly aceesing the ".python_history"-file, which was 130 Mb large. After deleting the file, anything was back to normal. ---------- components: Build messages: 375505 nosy: bytecookie priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: .python_history file causes considerable slowdown type: performance versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41563> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
