Hi, While I can't attend to sprint, I saw etherpad and I found Neil Schemenauer and Eric Snow will work on startup time.
I want to share my current knowledge about startup time. For bare (e.g. `python -c pass`) startup time, I'm waiting C implementation of ABC. But application startup time is more important. And we can improve them with optimize importing common stdlib. Current `python -v` is not useful to optimize import. So I use this patch to profile import time. https://gist.github.com/methane/e688bb31a23bcc437defcea4b815b1eb With this profile, I tried optimize `python -c 'import asyncio'`, logging and http.client. https://gist.github.com/methane/1ab97181e74a33592314c7619bf34233#file-0-optimize-import-patch With this small patch: logging: 14.9ms -> 12.9ms asyncio: 62.1ms -> 58.2ms http.client: 43.8ms -> 36.1ms I haven't created pull request yet. (Can I create without issue, as trivial patch?) I'm very busy these days, maybe until December. But I hope this report helps people working on optimizing startup time.
