Did you mean to imply that it took too long? It is likely that the terminal (emulation) is to blame, and not the python interpreter: $ time python3 -c 'for i in range(10**6): print(i)' > /dev/null real 0m1.562s user 0m1.525s sys 0m0.033s Under 2 seconds on quite old hardware. Without redirection in Konsole (KDE's terminal emulator): $ time python3 -c 'for i in range(10**6): print(i)' [...] 999997 999998 999999 real 0m16.167s user 0m5.258s sys 0m5.512s But wait -- you ran the code in IDLE, right? Then book it under lessons learned ;) _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
