Hi,<br><br>if you are importing lots of modules, you can get the startup time down by<br>not importing the modules at the top of a file, but at the place where you need it in a function.<br>Note that modules are loaded only once, so subsequent import commands will have no effect.
<br><br>Example:<br>instead of this:<br><br> import os<br><br> def foo():<br> print os.listdir()<br><br><br>you can write this:<br><br> def foo():<br> import os<br> print os.listdir()<br><br><br>Cheers,<br>Martin

Hello,<br><br>Is there anything that can be done about python startup time?<br>I recently wrote a very simple little pygtk + glade application that is less than 110 lines of code and it takes between 5 and 9 seconds to start up.

</a><br>Any way to get that startup time down?
