Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev

2007-10-23 23:58:07 UTC

The Emacs site-init file that comes with ipython causes significant overhead at Emacs startup:
- It contains an unconditional "require" statement that will load ipython.el
- ipython.el will then load the (large) common-lisp library, plus other files

It would be desirable to postpone loading of ipython.el until it is first needed, which is after python-mode is loaded. For further details, see <http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/emacs/wiki/sitefile%20problems>.

A new site-init file will be attached.
