About Quickimport
=================
The module quickimport provides an improved importer for python. If
you ever started a Python application from a lame file server (like
a CIFS server) you know the problem of long startup times. The quickimport
importer uses the PEP-302 import hooks to reduce the number of
failing stat system calls for each loaded module.
The code was developed as part of a commercial project and released as free
software under the GNU Lesser General Public License by
science + computing ag. The software is copyrighted by
science + computing ag.
Why did we decide to make Quickimport free software? We utilise Python and
other open source products a lot. Therefore we think it is just fair
to release enhancements back to the public.
Requirements
------------
* Python 2.7 (may work on earlier versions too)
(Sorry, currently no Python 3 support)
Installation
------------
Get easy_install and do "easy_install quickimport".
Or get the latest source code from github.
git clone git://github.com/akruis/quickimport.git
Using Quickimport
-----------------
Invoke the function quickimport.install() early during application
startup. You can use a .pth-file to do it.

Changes
=======
Version 0.0.1
-------------
Initial version, released by science + computing ag. This version is more or
less a copy of a module from the flowGuide2 source code. The code works
for the specific requirements of flowGuide2, but has not been tested outside
of the flowGuide2 environment.
