Hi,
I would like some feedback on the feasibility of an idea I've had: caching an
entire import graph to speed up interactive apps. The idea is that tools like
pytest, pip, hg, etc would be able to save and restore an import graph to cut
down on initial startup time.
As I think of it, this will be an opt-in system where a cache file could be
stored on disk and loaded quickly and then gone through with one or two passes
to relocate pointers to the present values if needed. The details of the API to
be determined later. I'm thinking it would require changes to pip/setuptools to
clear these caches when a package is upgraded for example.
I have very limited experience with the CPython code base so I'd like to know
if this is even a feasible thing to do?
Best regards
Anders
