I don't think a 50ms startup time is a problem for the interactive interpreter. Of course, it will be more noticeable on very slow machines. > I also doubt IDLE uses collections to bring up its shell window. The collections module appeared in 2.4; antiquated code might indeed not know about it ;) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11085> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
