Terry J. Reedy added the comment: This tracker is for patching CPython, not Windows or 3rd-party C libraries. Ramchandra is right, Python does not display windows. In the cases you mention, this is done by 3-rd party cross-platform graphics libraries interacting with Windows' native graphics system. The fact that you have noticed the slow first launch with all 3 suggests that the problem is generic to Windows and how it initializes dlls that connect to Windows graphics system.
I have the impression that this phenomenon is limited neither to Python nor to gui apps. One 'remedy' used by some apps is to load a 'quickstart' background process as part of startup. But that makes the boot or login process longer. In the absence of evidence that there is anything specifically wrong and fixable in CPython, I am closing this. Tim or Brian, if either of you think me mistaken, please re-open. ---------- nosy: +brian.curtin, terry.reedy, tim.golden resolution: -> invalid stage: -> committed/rejected status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18655> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
