Faster startup for applications installed with pipx on Windows

[paugier]

I'm not a regular Windows user but I found out that applications installed with pipx start very slowly on Windows (typically 0.7 s compared to less than 0.1 s for applications not installed in a virtual env). Is it a known behavior? Is it reproducible?

pipx install black
# can be repeated to reach something stable
Mesure-Command { black --version }

The issue, that I tried to describe in more details in this question seem to be more general than pipx since it also happens for a virtual environment created by hand (with venv) and it seems link to Python startup.

However, the main practical issue for me is startup time of applications installed with pipx, so I think it is useful to create this issue here.

Thank you for creating this issue. I think it's good for others encountering this to be forwarded to the python forums.

As this seems entirely outside of our control though, I will close this issue.
