I hope that's not a surprise to you. The first loop (block2) involves two calls into the AutoCAD COM object in each iteration. The second loop (block3) is simply manipulating lists of integers, entirely within Python. > Some suggestions for speed up pywin32 code in this example? > There isn't really anything here to speed up. You're just "glue". The work is being done in AutoCAD. It is almost impossible for me to believe that Visual Basic does this same loop any faster. However, you can certainly try switching to early binding by using: acad= win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch("AutoCAD.Application") -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
