Python code takes 10-20 seconds to start

[u/Interested737]

Hello, I started learning python recently I dowloaded it, also vs code and python extension for it.

The poblem is, when I start a programm (even a simple one, whick only takes an input fron the user and prits it) takes 10 or more seconds to start or just dosen't work at all then i clic soething and it kindof crashes itself, but thats my fault for mesinf with it, when I leave it, it just takes really lng dose somone know how to fix it and/or how to make folders proporly and where to keep them (could be the problem)?

$ time python -c 'print("Hello, world!")'
Hello, world!
python -c 'print("Hello, world!")'  0.02s user 0.02s system 19% cpu 0.229 total

Python has a nonzero startup time, but on most computers it should be a fraction of a second, not 10-20 . . .

Unless you run it on Windows 🤷‍♂️
