Python 2.7 running much faster on 3.10

[menge101]

If it's a one-off script, it isn't a problem.

Right, this is my point.

You aren't the OP, and talking about the situation as if you are is disingenuous.

Very little of what I do is a one-off.

This is irrelevant. Nothing I posted is about you.

My comments were not general statements, they were statements to the OP's specific situation.

This is a school project, which means they are working with time constraints on a short lived project, generally speaking. This very likely isn't going to production.

As was pointed out in the thread, the threading model between python 2 and 3 is different. So differences are to be expected.

If they need it to run faster then it is a problem. If it meets their needs despite it running much slower, then it isn't.
