Hey Folks, Some import questions that a search didn't turn up for me.
1. Will "from somemodule import onething" take as long to start up as import somemodule? 2. Is there anyway I can get at onething more quickly? 3. If I put an import statement hidden away in some function, will Python only do the import when that function is called? If I say, never use that function would that import statement affect performance at all? Ultimately I have IIS running python as a CGI script and it seems to just be taking many seconds to load a small page. I'm guessing the issue is starting up the interpreter and loading all the modules. BTW I know it would be better to profile the code but how do you profile a CGI script? I can't just pass it CGI parameters can I? And does profiling take into account the time of loading modules? Thanks, -Greg Pinero -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
