PEP 810 – Explicit lazy imports

No, the point is that most people in this thread do not appreciate the complexity of implementing lazy imports. If you disagree, your energy is better spent talking to a CPython core developer about implementation details of making baseless assertions from an ivory tower.

There are many people here who think enabling lazy imports is as simple as flipping a light switch. They have no idea what they're talking about.

You’ve misread the discussion

This thread was a tangent from lazy imports.

And actually people do appreciate the complexities of changes like this. We were responding to a specific comment that that said “it’s impossible”. Saying something is “possible” isn’t the same as saying “it’s easy”.

Reading comprehension failure on your part.
