I don't think that's the right way forward. It's much easier to either remove the need to import those extra modules or defer their import to actual use within a function. Both collections and functools are used in two distinct places. The re module use could also be deferred to actual use. It would be worthwhile adding a note to the top of the module mentioning the fact that the module is loaded early on by Python and to warn about use of non-builtin module imports. ---------- title: locale can be imported at startup but relies on too many library modules -> locale can be imported at startup but relies on too many library modules _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9548> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
