I like this proposal and I agree with previous posters about hoisting
being undesirable.
And if lazy importing is slow then that is probably something that can
be optimized away; of course in tight loops or performance-sensitive
code you wouldn't use this functionality.
But perhaps using "from" makes the behavior more clear (and it is shorter):
start_date = from datetime.datetime(2012, 1, 6)
I think the behavior could be to simply keep importing until we have a
non-module value, rather than rely on putting the import name in
parentheses.
Cheers
