"Make Python Apps Start Fast" - Andrew Bennetts
Command line programs such as version control tools need to run
quickly so that they do not disrupt the user's work. Anything more
than a heartbeat and the user gets impatient and distracted.
Programming in Python is typically much easier than C/C++, but making
a Python program load and execute quickly can be a challenge. This
talk explains how Bazaar, a GPL-licenced distributed version control
system written in Python, can execute commands like “bzr status” in as
little as 100ms on my fairly modest laptop even though it has roughly
120000 lines of Python source code. This talk will cover tools and
techniques for both analysing and fixing causes of long startups for
Python.
Bio - Andrew Bennetts is a Software Developer for Canonical Ltd.
Andrew works on Bazaar, a GPL-licensed version control tool written in
Python. He has been a professional Python programmer since 2001. The
last four of those years he's worked for Canonical, building tools to
help open source developers collaborate. He's also a long-time
contributor to Twisted, the asynchronous networking framework.
