Package: python-requests Version: 2.4.3-4 Severity: important Hi,
the following results have been executed in docker containers on the same machine, just after having installed python-requests and paython3-requests. The reported results are the third of 3 consecutive runs. root@jessie:/# time python -c "import requests" real 0m0.720s user 0m0.684s sys 0m0.032s root@jessie:/# time python3 -c "import requests" real 0m0.138s user 0m0.120s sys 0m0.012s root@wheezy:/# time python -c "import requests" real 0m0.060s user 0m0.048s sys 0m0.008s root@wheezy:/# time python3 -c "import requests" real 0m0.087s user 0m0.064s sys 0m0.020s Thus, as you may see, importing requests on Python2 on jessie is very slow. This is really painfull since it make any python2 app usig requests very slow to start, for example I have a mercurial extension that uses python-requests, and in jessie, if I activate it, every hg call takes at least one second. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages python-requests depends on: ii ca-certificates 20141019 ii python-chardet 2.3.0-1 ii python-urllib3 1.9.1-3 pn python:any <none> Versions of packages python-requests recommends: ii python-ndg-httpsclient 0.3.2-1 ii python-openssl 0.14-1 ii python-pyasn1 0.1.7-1 python-requests suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
