Re: Reduce start up time for manage.py

Hi,

Many people would recommend against this, but if you can put the imports for your heavy 3rd party libraries inside functions and methods, that allow them to be loaded only if needed.

I would also recommend in general to simply have fewer libraries and apps (easier said than done :)

Also, is it slow only for the first load, or are repeated loads slow too?

I hope you aren't doing database queries or other expensive calls on startup.

Try putting this at the top of your manage.py to see more of what's going on

import logging; logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

Hi,

I'm having a quite large Django project with dozens of apps and many reusable third-party libraries. All the custom management commands (being used with manage.py <command>) take a long time to be executed, since the start up sequence takes between 3 and 5 seconds. Using the cProfile module I was able to see that quite a lot of function calls are executed and it looks like that every app is loaded, including its libraries and such before the actual management command is executed. Is there any common way to speed that up (e.g. by not loading apps/libraries that are not required for a specific management command)? Django 1.7+ is used on Python 3.4.

Output from `python3 -m cProfile manage.py` (truncated): 1100697 function calls (1064507 primitive calls) in 5.172 seconds
