While I can't attend to sprint, I saw etherpad and I found Neil Schemenauer and Eric Snow will work on startup time.

I want to share my current knowledge about startup time. For bare (e.g. python -c pass) startup time, I'm waiting C implementation of ABC. But application startup time is more important. And we can improve them with optimize importing common stdlib. Current python -v is not useful to optimize import. So I use this patch to profile import time. https://gist.github.com/methane/e688bb31a23bcc437defcea4b815b1eb With this profile, I tried optimize python -c 'import asyncio', logging and http.client. https://gist.github.com/methane/1ab97181e74a33592314c7619bf34233#file-0-optimize-import-patch With this small patch: logging: 14.9ms -> 12.9ms asyncio: 62.1ms -> 58.2ms http.client: 43.8ms -> 36.1ms

See also https://bugs.python.org/issue30152 which optimizes the import time of argparse using similar technique. I think these patches overlap.
