For those of you not watching -ideas, or ignoring the "Python TIOBE

reworking the import mechanism:

Interesting. This gives me an idea for a way to cut stat calls per
sys.path entry per import by roughly 4x, at the cost of a one-time
directory read per sys.path entry.
Why do you even think this is a problem with "stat calls"?
All he said is that reading about that problem and its solution gave him an idea
about dealing with stat call overhead. The cost of stat calls has demonstrated
itself to be a significant problem in other, more typical contexts.
