Python speed
I have found python to be extremely slow in test complete. I have created some timing tests iterating over arrays and doing actions with the array data. I also wrote the exact same code and ran it ...
Support said this is just speed within the api and can't say much more. They said it has gotten faster over time so maybe will get better in the future but for now there is not much one can do to speed it up.
We are going to move highs speed routines out of test complete for now as it seems like the better plan.
Attached is the script(had to make txt to attach) that I am using, just need to set the print to be log in TC.
the output from TC is 360 and 858.
Run in python shell the output is 1 and 1.
This is shown in the second attachment image
I will make a support ticket as this is using straight python nothing TC, it seems crazy that it is that much slower!
This came up because it takes a really long time to run tests and the developers were asking me why.
Don't forget that TestComplete needs a time to launch its own Python interpreter.
In the case with the shell the interpreter is already launched.
