python -c 'import asyncio', logging and http.client.https://gist.github.com/methane/1ab97181e74a33592314c7619bf34233#file-0-optimize-import-patch This patch moves a few imports inside functions. I wonder whether that kind of change actually helps with real applications—doesn't any real application end up importing the socket module anyway at some point?
I don't know if this particular change is worthwhile, but one place where startup slowness is particularly noticed is with commands like 'foo.py --help' or 'foo.py --generate-completions' (the latter called implicitly by hitting in some shell), which typically do lots of imports that end up not being used.
