That approach could work, but I think that it is the wrong approach. I'd rather keep Python optimized for long-running processes and introduce a new mode / option to optimize for short-running scripts. What would that look like, how would it be invoked, and how would that change the behavior of the interpreter?
I haven't given it much thought yet. Here are just some wild ideas:
- add '-l' command line option (l for lazy)
- in lazy mode, delay some slow operations (re compile, enum, ...)
- delay some imports in lazy mode, e.g. with a deferred import proxy
