long filenames under DOS

Press RESET immediately, All! The situation is this: installed python, installed the one recommended on the site lfndos.exe. Launching Python programs with a loud cracking noise from the screw takes up to a few minutes (in Linux the same thing starts almost instantly) -- This is lfndos reading their names. Even a simple call to the DIR command (DOS 7.x from windows95) takes a significant amount of time and causes active operation of the screw, regardless of whether smartdrv is installed or not. If the driver is missing lfndos everything works quickly, except for python, which doesn’t work without long names works. I understand that I need a more different lfndos.exe driver, which would be able to work together with smartdrv.exe. Python is workable at least with a minimal set of modules without long names would be better... PythonD 1.12 (python 2.2.1) without long names cannot find its modules if only You can’t change names to short ones by hand. In dosemu, under Linux, there are no long names either. :-( What driver gives application programs access to long names (via windows API int 0x2f), can work through disk cache, for example smartdrv? Where can I get this driver? Maybe a DOS version other than ms-dos 7.x, which naturally supports long names, caches disks, and supports network drives? Do such DOS even exist?
