/etc/site-start.d/50pylint.el lets emacs start any python file instantly without hanging but (of course) with no pylint. This issue for me started out of nowhere, I haven't updated anything for a long time and all of a sudden trying to create a new python file takes forever. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1530667 Title: Loading pylint.elc causes emacs24 to hang for a VERY LONG TIME at startup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pylint/+bug/1530667/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
