So Python 3.15 will introduce a new, “lazy” import mechanism

So far I have done one script where I moved an import into the
function where it was used, instead of doing it globally; this reduced
the script startup time from around 1.5 seconds down to about a
quarter second.
“Lazy” imports would avoid the need for such workarounds, while
keeping all imports together so they can be found more easily.
Interesting, I needed this as well.
Last time I checked, the suggestion
was rejected...
Good if they changed their mind.
