研究方向

issue 指出 Lib/encodings/__init__.py 和 Lib/zipimport.py;閱讀這兩個匯入位置,以及它們在 win32_code_page_search_function 和 _parse_dostime 中的用法。比較 Windows 上的啟動匯入,並執行指定的 codec、zipimport、time、signal 和 sys 測試。當兩個匯入都延後至其使用位置,且啟動行為有所改善、測試沒有回歸時,即為完成。

描述

OS-windows performance stdlib type-feature
Feature or enhancement

On Windows, python -c pass imports two modules that Linux doesn't, and neither is needed on most starts:

  • encodings/__init__.py imports create_win32_code_page_codec from encodings._win_cp_codecs at module level (since 3.14). It is only called from win32_code_page_search_function, for a cpNNN name with no codec module.
  • zipimport imports time at module level for time.mktime in _parse_dostime. On Windows, time module init runs _tzset, which calls GetTimeZoneInformation. The first call in a process costs about 1 ms here.

From -X importtime (3.14.4, self time, median of 15): _win_cp_codecs 0.5 ms, time 0.96 ms on Windows (0.07 ms on Linux).

Moving both imports into the functions that use them (patch below) made python -c pass 3.6 ms faster (38.4 -> 34.4 ms; 95% CI 3.1-4.2 ms over 300 interleaved runs, release build of 3.14.4 without PGO). Each change alone is worth about 2 ms (_win_cp_codecs 2.1, time 2.4).

test_codecs, test_zipimport, test_zipimport_support, test_time, test_signal and test_sys pass with the change (3.14.4 build).

Both imports are unchanged on main (2781ffe1f2). The change, against main:

I used GitHub Copilot (Claude Opus 5.5 model) to trace this, build and time the prototype, and draft this issue. The measurements were run on my machine.
