By
Redoubts
A bagel you'd recommend to a friend without hedging.
Summary
PEP 810 proposes an explicit lazy import syntax for Python that would allow developers to opt-in to deferring module loading until first use. The proposal aims to improve startup times and reduce memory usage by avoiding unnecessary imports at program initialization. This is a technical proposal for the Python programming language that would introduce new syntax for lazy imports.
