Brett Cannon added the comment: I also just tried using os.listdir() for a package before searching for __init__ and it didn't speed anything up either (actually timeit suggests that os.listdir() is worse than an isdir + 3 * isfile checks). Nor did caching directory stuff at the class level so that they were shared when an os.listdir() was done for an __init__ so that didn't have to be done a second time if the cache wasn't stale already.
I have attached the patch with all of the changes to cut the number of stat calls down significantly, but benchmarking on my work machine shows no definitive benefit. ---------- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file31510/less_stats.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18810> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
