No problem with that, I'll try to let various changes stack up, before I 
send patches to Ville, so he won't get overwhelmed with them (but I 
guess he can apply them faster than I can produce them ;))

isort() of course first has to fetch the complete input, before it can 
sort the objects, so this might take longer. Dropping the sort 
expression should speed up the initial display.

But as you get '0 objects' this probably means that you don't have any 
Python source files in your current directory.

What happens if you do a simple "iwalk"?
