Why Raspberry pi 3b+ is slow with python?

Question

I used raspberry pi and i made some simple codes but i note that it's slow on the execution.
I use raspberry with monitor, keyboard and mouse
Are those devices make it slow?

Answer 1

I use the same raspi and same peripherical devices, but i have no problems at all. May be you can answer some questions:
- What os with vesion do you run on raspi?
- How many RAM has your SD memory card?
- What python distribution and version you are running?
- What externel modules have you installed?
- What is the program doing that runs slow on your raspi?
- Do you have any kind of extension boards installed?

I use Thonny and sped is no issue for me.

Answer 2

You can add some speed for your pi:
1. overclock CPU
2. use usb-ssd to boot system
3.increase virtual memory size

if you use slow SD card (<10 class), your system will work very slowly
