STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@gmail.com> added the comment: I ran two benchmarks on my Fedora 26.

The import time is 9.4x faster, nice! In practice, the import time is even better since my benchmark uses repeated import, it doesn't measure the "first time" import which was more expensive using "import ctypes" previously. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31558> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
