Python startup time: milliseconds matter
This is truly a problem. Even more so if you host your application on a network directory. Loading all the small files takes ages. I really wish there would be a good way to compile the whole application with all the modules into one package once you&#x27;re ready to release. I really wish the creators of Python would have given such use-cases more consideration.<p>Edit: I&#x27;m aware that there are solutions that put everything a program touches into a kind of executable archive. A single file several hundred Megabytes in size. I&#x27;ve tested it. It doesn&#x27;t really pre-compile the modules. The startup time was exactly the same.
