• [$] Explicit lazy imports for Python

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Tue Oct 21 06:40:08 2025
    Importing modules in Python is ubiquitous; most Python programs start
    with at least a few import statements. But the performance impact
    of those imports can be large-and may be entirely wasted effort if the
    symbols imported end up being unused. There are multiple ways to lazily
    import modules, including one in the standard library, but none of them are part of the Python language itself. That
    may soon change, if the recently proposed
    PEP˙810 ("Explicit lazy
    imports") is approved.
