Yes, many, many thanks to Erik Bray for that (and so much more)! As the ticket's summary (starting with "py3:") suggests, one of the motivations was that when building for Python 3, the startup time was tens of seconds before that ticket, and is now down to a very reasonable time after the ticket. - py3: Speed up deprecated_function_alias https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/26908 Nowadays I only work with a Python3-based build of Sage, so this was a very welcome improvement! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
