There is something wrong or unexpected with your setup.  Check
for problems with the PATH (folders that map to missing network
shares and such), virus scanning software (as Michel mentioned
but you sort of ignored in your response), and other such things.
Python itself definitely will not take that long on a properly
configured system, IME.
