Why does numpy/__init__.py need to import all of these other modules and submodules? Any chance of cutting down on the number, in order to improve startup costs?
Can you try the SVN trunk? In another thread (it must be "numpy imports slowly!" week), David Cournapeau found some optimizations that could be done that don't affect the API. They seem to cut down my import times (on OS X) by about 1/3; on his Linux machine, it seems to be more. I would be interested to know how significantly it improves your use case. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco
