Hello pyRevit friends!
After noticing pretty long loading times, even for scripts where nothing should happen, I started investigating the issue.
I found out it is the importing of a custom module i have created in my lib folder.
It takes 3-6 seconds to load in my scripts, i dont know why it varies that much.
This is a very short code, so I started to test loading time of other custom modules. A pretty large one with nearly 1000 lines of code takes only 0,2-0,3 seconds to load. They are in the same library folder.
A test setup that only loads the “problem module” gives me a time of only 0,3 seconds.
from pyrevit import script
from datetime import datetime
start_time = datetime.now()
import Log
print datetime.now() - start_time
But importing this module in my other scripts gives me importing times of 3-6 seconds.
I´m clueless why the loading time can be that different.
Is there anything I can do to improve that? For example, how to avoid double imports like:
uidoc = __revit__.ActiveUIDocument
doc = __revit__.ActiveUIDocument.Document
app = __revit__.Application
Because I import that in my script and in the module.
This is the mentioned module, happy about any advice and thoughts on this topic, thanks in advance!
