Well, I have found that upon loading the py (9.2MB) file, it takes quite a while, but a pyc file is created, and is approx. 1/4 the size. This gives me the indication that the binary encoding is quite good, and importing the pyc file will takes considerably less time. Does anyone have any idea how the binary encoding of pyc files is compared to something like this done in C++? Of course, I'm not asking about the ultimate efficiency including processing the binary data as pixmaps, but just the loading from disk bit.

python-dev is for the work of the Python project, not for questions about using Python. Please post your question to comp.lang.python.
