Hello everyone, I would like to draw the attention on the slow startup of matplotlib.
Indeed, running matplotlib takes a long time. I performed the following sequence : ```bash #!/bin/bash for i in * ; do python2 -c "from temp import * ; plot_(\"${i}\") " ; done ``` with temp.py like this : ```python #!/usr/bin/env python2 import sys import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import read_data as rd import numpy def plot_( fname ): P,I = rd.read_data(fname) Iprime = [ l / k for k , l in zip( numpy.diff(P) , numpy.diff(I) ) ] fig = plt.figure() ax1 = fig.add_subplot(211) ax2 = fig.add_subplot(212) ax1.plot(P,I) ax2.plot(P[:-1],Iprime) fig.savefig( fname + ".pdf", format='pdf' ) ``` And it seems the longer operation is to import matplotlib.pyplot. Does something could be done to improve the loading time of this module ?
