Tips for eliminating initial Python loading time?

Hello everyone,

 

From what I understood, the Python tool has to load a virtual environment in Alteryx everytime the tool is run, which causes an incompressible initial loading time for each instance of its use.

 

We expect to run over a hundred workflows daily using the Python tool.
Is there a way to load the environment once and for all at the start of/upstream of execution to ensure better performance for all workflows?

 

Things that we've tried so far to boost performance:

- Putting all Python tools in Production mode

- Disabling Auto Configure

- Putting the Python tool outside of a macro and running the whole dataset through the tool (instead of reiterating the loading time with every line being ran through the macro)

 

Thank you all in advance, :)
