Hi,

recently (not sure exactly when) I have noticed that, for some reason,
the python info files are loaded by Emacs when initialising org-babel
specifically (I think) when loading org-babel-python.  I get messages
of the form:

,----
| uncompressing python2.5-lib.info.gz...done
`----

On my netbook, this is rather annoying as it slows down the
initialisation of Emacs significantly.  I don't understand why the
info files are necessary for org-babel?

I'm happy to do some debugging if necessary but I thought I'd email
this now in case it's something trivial for the code authors...

Thanks,
eric

  Hi Eric,
  
  They aren't, but perhaps they are loaded when we (require 'python)?  If
  so then I guess it's out of babel's control; maybe a partial solution
  would be to not activate python as a babel langage until necessary
  (maybe by adding (require 'org-babel-python) to an appropriate hook?).
  
  On my ubuntu 9.10 netbook I don't seem to have any the python info files
  even after installing python2.6-doc. Are you using a debian-based linux
  system and if so could you tell me how to install the python info files
  so that I can investigate?

    Hi Dan,
    
    I am using a Debian testing/unstable mix on the netbook and the info
    files are from:
    
    ,----
    | $ dpkg --search python2.5-lib.info.gz
    | python2.5-doc: /usr/share/info/python2.5-lib.info.gz
    `----
    
    Strange that the info files are not in the 2.6 version.
    
    I may simply remove this package as I don't use python much and, even
    when I do, I can wait until I'm at one of my desktop systems to read
    the documentation...
    
    Thanks,
    eric
