New submission from Christian Heimes: The site module is loaded at every startup. Nowadays it imports the re and the sysconfig modules. The re module is used for venv config parsing and inside sysconfig. sysconfig is loaded to find the location of the user's site-packages directory.
Suggestions: - Only import re and compile CONFIG_LINE when a venv config file is found - Don't rely on sysconfig for user's site-packages directory. Instead the sysconfig module should rely on site.py to get its location. Without re and sysconfig Python would import only 45 instead of 56 modules at startup (tested on Linux). ---------- components: +Interpreter Core, Library (Lib) stage: -> needs patch title: Don -> Don't import re and sysconfig in site.py type: -> performance versions: +Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19205> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
