Python scripts are compiled to byte code and the byte code is interpreted. It won't reparse code it has already byte compiled.
I haven't looked into the Python For Delphi implementation but I would be surprised if you couldn't get it to import and compile your script and then call the already compiled methods.

Suppose you want to graph a user-entered function for a 1000 points. While you can pass variables etc, it looks to me like the python function is being parsed with every call? That is slow compared to parsing once and storing execution tree, then just evaluating with new data in the allocated variables. There are a no. of components round that do this (jcl has one) but they lack conditionals. Maybe I do need to modernise formulabuilder. -- Phil Scadden, Senior Scientist GNS Science Ltd 764 Cumberland St, Private Bag 1930, Dunedin, New Zealand Ph +64 3 4799663, fax +64 3 477 5232 _______________________________________________ NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi mailing list Post: delphi@delphi.org.nz Admin: http://delphi.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi Unsubscribe: send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject: unsubscribe _______________________________________________ NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi mailing list Post: delphi@delphi.org.nz Admin: http://delphi.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi Unsubscribe: send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject: unsubscribe
