So you aren't complaining about C extension import time, but Python code import time, right?

Right, that wasn't clear from the title. Somehow I thought that PEP 399 explicitly recommended importing the C extension at the end of the file, but in fact it only says "This [importing] is typically done at the end of the module".

Just create a pydecimal module (like pyio).

Thanks, I'll try that.
