Very slow startup on tdcli about poodledo

It's not actually StringIO's fault; the delay comes from assembling the lexer that parses the task string. Plex (the lexer library I'm using) only causes a delay of a couple of seconds on my machine, but I can see where it would take a lot longer under other conditions.

I'll look into replacing plex with the built-in re.Scanner tool: http://www.evanfosmark.com/2009/02/sexy-lexing-with-python/. Thanks for the bug report!

I've added a cache of the lexer object, so that once it's been generated it will be re-used between runs. It significanty improves performance on my machine. Can you please check it out and see if it helps on your end?

Adam,

That seemed to really pick things up. One other problem I am having
is the need to add an app_id and app_token myself to the AppClient
class whenever I update the repo. Is there any way to add that stuff
into the rc file to prevent this?

Thanks,

Rich

Great idea! I've added that to the latest commit. Please try it out and let me know what you think.

Thanks,

The current code doesn't use the lexer (or its cache) anymore, and the other issue was addressed a year ago. Closing this ticket.
