You only have imported a handful of modules by then. Real-world applications will import many more afterwards. Here's a little experiment (done with a system install of Python 2.7): $ python -v -c pass 2>&1 | grep "^import" | wc -l 33 $ python -v `which hg` 2>&1 | grep "^import" | wc -l 117 Note that Mercurial has a lazy importer in order to improve startup time, otherwise the number would be higher yet. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19216> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
