While the number of imports reduced a lot, "import test.support" still imports 98 modules. That's a lot! IMO we can reduce it a little bit more :-) Examples of imports which could be lazy: * faulthandler: move it into start_threads() and disable_faulthandler() * shutil: move it into rmtree() * bz2: move it into @requires_bz2 decorator. Is it possible? Same for zlib, gzip and lzma? There are also tons of functions, it may be time to create even more submodules: * support.threading_helper: * threading_setup()/threading_cleanup() * reap_threads() * wait_thread_exit() * join_thread() * catch_threading_exception context manager * start_threads() * support.process_helper: * wait_process() * reap_children() * SuppressCrashReport * PIPE_MAX_SIZE (is it the best place for that one?) * args_from_interpreter_flags() * optim_args_from_interpreter_flags() * PythonSymlink * support.file_helper: * rmtree() and the related private functions * unlink() * rmdir() * FS_NONASCII * TESTFN_UNICODE, TESTFN_NONASCII, TESTFN_UNENCODABLE, TESTFN_UNDECODABLE * SAVEDCWD (not sure about this one) * TESTFN_ENCODING <= this one can be removed, it's just sys.getfilesystemencoding() * temp_dir() * change_cwd() * temp_cwd() * temp_umask() * create_empty_file() * make_bad_fd() * EnvironmentVarGuard (not sure about this one) * can_symlink(), skip_unless_symlink() * can_xattr(), skip_unless_xattr() * fs_is_case_insensitive() * fd_count() * FakePath * support.import_helper: * import_module(), _ignore_deprecated_imports() * import_fresh_module(), _save_and_remove_module(), _save_and_block_module() * unload() * make_legacy_pyc() * forget() * CleanImport * DirsOnSysPath * modules_setup(), modules_cleanup() * support.warnings_helper: * check_syntax_warning() * ignore_warnings() * WarningsRecorder * check_warnings(), _filterwarnings() * check_no_warnings() * check_no_resource_warning() Move also move the following functions to socket_helper: * SOCK_MAX_SIZE * open_urlresource() * TransientResource * time_out * socket_peer_reset * ioerror_peer_reset Serhiy: What do you think of these proposed submodules? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40275> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
