Slow Point() object creation

[Amit Saha]

Hi all,

Just noticed that creating even 1000 point objects is quite slow:

from sympy import Point
@profile
def create_points():
for i in range(1000):
Point(i, i)
i**2

create_points()

A random profiling run using https://github.com/rkern/line_profiler is here at:
https://gist.githubusercontent.com/amitsaha/bdde2b959658dda81536/raw/acf98e57aa5c3afbef497768fb777f5de2a5048f/gistfile1.txt

On an average this code takes 0.3 s. is there any way that this can be improved?

Thanks,
Amit.

Your line profile isn't very helpful because all it tells you is that
the Point creation is slow, which is what you already knew. I would
try running your same code with
https://github.com/joerick/pyinstrument, or put the line profile
decorator on the geometry code.

Hi Amit,

Just pitching in. There are sometimes disparities while benching using line_profiler (which I just noticed today).

I have a gist that takes 15s using the profiler and just 3s if I do a conventional timing using time() before and after the function.
I'm not sure if it is due to some overhead of the profiler, but you might just want to do a manual timing using time() to see if it matches, before concluding anything.

HTH.
