...and guess what what: I've been working on my first web2py project since
almost three month, and thought this was normal! (I hear you laughing.)
Until yesterday when I had my WLAN turned off and web2py launched almost
instantly.
I couldn't believe it, launched the debugger, and traced the problem down
to the line:
gluon/widget.py:726
options.ips = list(set( # no duplicates
[addrinfo[4][0] for addrinfo in getipaddrinfo(socket.getfqdn())
Googling the culprit line gave me this post:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/web2py/startup$20slow/web2py/Y0ybKPM4MzI/pWFVHj9_ynwJ
but unfortunately the solution doesn't work for me. My /etc/hosts is in
virgin state (and commenting out any line(s) doesn't change anything):
$ cat /etc/hosts
##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost
Being rather clueless about network problems, I'm now lost. However, I
wonder if anyone else has this problem, since I remember web2py startup to
be as slow on my previous MacBook running 10.8.6.
Looking at the code, I can work around the problem by simply setting
options.ips = []
However, I'd prefer a way to launch web2py without it looking up these IPs.
options.ips seems to be exclusively used in web2pyDialog, so I wonder why
the lookup can't be done there locally, and launching without the dialog
would be fast. Especially, running my unit test would then go instantly (I
hear you laughing...).
