I'm now trying to figure out IDLE internal relation. I got some module dependency graph and count.

The work is at HackMD: https://hackmd.io/IwNg7AphDGBmsFoAsBOCAmZAGMBDBKsArEgruuiEkQCa5YBGsNQA Is there any previous material on this topic?

Not that I know of. There are many delayed imports in idlelib. At least one is to avoid circular import error, as I discovered when I tried to move it to the top as suggested by PEP8.

Thanks for finding the site and producing the .pngs. Even though missing a few links from importlib.import_module calls, they will be helpful. I saved the 2nd one locally so I can view it at full size.

(The left column links such as debugger.py linking to 'debugger.py' are nonsensical.)
