How are you appending to the file? In the code snippets below you merely say "append s to file", which is not Python code and could hide a multitude of sins. You're asking us to diagnose slow performance in code we can't see. Or perhaps your disk is just badly fragmented, and as the file gets bigger, performance gets worse. > Did conv.escape_string() change something about columnvalue I don't know. What's conv.escape_string? Where does it come from, and what does it do? Again, you're asking us to diagnose code we can't see. Perhaps you should run the profiler and see where your code is spending most of its time. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26118> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
