EXE is very slow by starting (>10sec.) (build with PyInstaller)

[Mark Delon]

Hi,

My Python executable created with PyInstaller is too slow by starting...
It takes about 15 secs.!!!

I am using PyQt4 libraries for creating my very simple GUI-application.

-How can I SPEED UP my executable ???
-Do you know some GOOD build switches?

Thank you very much for every idea...

Best Regards

Mark

Try profiling it. I'm not an PyInstaller-user, but I could imagine that
loading Qt is pretty heavy. So you might try & import as few dependencies
as possible, as late as possible. That won't reduce the overall time
needed, but maybe get you going a bit faster so the user feedback is there.
In doubt - create a fancy splashscreen :P

-Do you know some GOOD build switches?

There is no such thing I fear.

Possibly you could use a splash screen and as have been said, you
should load modules as late as possible (that means the some import
statement is not positioned in the beginning of the code). You should
reach the event loop as soon as possible.
