so it's taking almost two seconds more to import numpy, now that wxPython is installed. I haven't even imported it yet. importing wx isn't as bad:
$ time python -c "import wx"
real 0m1.589s user 0m0.274s sys 0m1.000s
Since numpy wo wx + wc import times adds up to numpy import times, this suggests that numpy may import wx. Which it shouldn't, obviously. There is something strange happening here. Please check wether wx really is imported when you do import numpy: python -c "import numpy; import sys; print sys.modules" And if it is, we have to know why it is imported at all when doing import numpy. cheers, David
