New submission from Steve Dower <steve.do...@python.org>:
According to https://twitter.com/BruceDawson0xB/status/1455714820485894151?s=20 there are some serious performance implications from referencing shlwapi.dll. It turns out, we only use it for one native path calculation function, which is easily replaceable (since Windows 8). So we can drop the dependency and get a startup (and shutdown) improvement back to 3.9. ---------- assignee: steve.dower components: Windows messages: 405762 nosy: paul.moore, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Remove shlwapi dependency on Windows type: performance versions: Python 3.10, Python 3.11, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45720> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
