Oh, I understood why I had issues to reproduce the startup performance
slowdown. When Python is run from the source code using ./python, the re module
is not imported. When Python is installed, the re is not imported by default
neither:
haypo@speed-python$ prefix/bin/python3 -c 'import sys; print("re" in
sys.modules)'
False
BUT when Python is started from a virtual environment (created by the "venv"
module), the re module is important by default.
haypo@speed-python$ venv/bin/python3 -c 'import sys; print("re" in sys.modules)'
True
If the site module is not imported, the re module is not imported:
haypo@speed-python$ venv/bin/python3 -S -c 'import sys; print("re" in
sys.modules)'
False
The /home/haypo/benchmarks/prefix/lib/python3.6/site.py file is generated by
the venv module and contains:
def venv(...):
...
if candidate_confs:
import re
config_line = re.compile(CONFIG_LINE)
...
