Probably. After the split, I'll review things again, with a closer eye on the initialization order issues, especially with respect to ensuring that lazy imports set the corresponding attribute in the parent package at the right point in time. (It should happen *before* the submodule can actually be imported.) The big advantage to a stdlib implementation of lazy modules would be that it could be more vetted and "blessed" -- the downside is that it's a new and nontrivial implementation. :( _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
