hot -- it takes about 10 cold.
I've been wondering about that.
time python -c "import numpy"
real 0m8.383s user 0m0.320s sys 0m7.805s
and similar results if run multiple times in a row.
What does python -c "import sys; print sys.path" say ?
Any idea what could be wrong? I have no clue where to start, though I suppose a complete clean out and re-install of python comes to mind.
oh, and this is a dual G5 PPC (which should have a faster disk than your Macbook)
disk should not matter. If hot, everything should be in the IO buffer, opening a file is of the order of a few micro seconds (that's certainly the order on Linux; the VM on Mac OS X is likely not as good, but still). cheers, David
