Summary: python always searches python23.zip
Initial Comment:
In trying to figure out why startup of the
spambayes hammiefilter seems so slow, I ran it
under the control of ktrace (also known as strace
or truss on other systems). I noticed that even
though it's not in sys.path, the interpreter is
always searching for modules in
$prefix/python23.zip. Why's that? Here's a
little ktrace/kdump output:
2361 python CALL stat(0xbfffe1d0,0xbfffe5e0)
2361 python NAMI "/Users/skip/local/lib/python23.zip"
2361 python RET stat -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
2361 python CALL stat(0xbfffe1d0,0xbfffe5e0)
2361 python NAMI "/Users/skip/local/lib"
2361 python RET stat 0
2361 python CALL stat(0xbfffece0,0xbfffe7d0)
2361 python NAMI "/Users/skip/local/lib/python23.zip/warnings"
2361 python RET stat -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
2361 python CALL open(0xbfffece0,0,0x1b6)
2361 python NAMI "/Users/skip/local/lib/python23.zip/warnings.py"
2361 python RET open -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
2361 python CALL open(0xbfffece0,0,0x1b6)
2361 python NAMI "/Users/skip/local/lib/python23.zip/warnings.pyc"
2361 python RET open -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
2361 python CALL open(0xbfffece0,0,0x1b6)
2361 python NAMI "/Users/skip/local/lib/python23.zip/warnings.so"
2361 python RET open -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
2361 python CALL open(0xbfffece0,0,0x1b6)
2361 python NAMI "/Users/skip/local/lib/python23.zip/warningsmodule.so"
2361 python RET open -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
What's particularly odd is that even though the
search for python23.zip fails, it continues to
march along looking for files within the
nonexistent zip file.
Searching for modules in something not in sys.path
seems like a bug to me.
