New submission from Steve Dower <steve.do...@python.org>:
mimetypes.init is slow on Windows because of the big registry search, which involves touching thousands of entries in order to add a few hundred into the initial table. Things get even worse when audit hooks are enabled, because the winreg methods need to be hooked. However, we know that this particular operation is coming from core, and so we could skip these hooks. Both issues can be trivially solved (helped) with a native accelerator function. ---------- assignee: steve.dower messages: 397110 nosy: steve.dower priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Accelerate mimetypes.init on Windows type: performance versions: Python 3.10, Python 3.11, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44582> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
