Need more clues than that. What does your function do? What facilities does your function make use of? csrss.exe is the "user-mode side" of Windows, and consumes a lot of CPU if, for example, you're starting/stopping many threads, or display a lot of output to "a DOS box". You should also be aware that several kinds of malware install a program named "csrss.exe" or "CSRSS.EXE" (search the web for more on that, and run a virus scan). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
