Although it doesn't seem to be:
>>> python -c "import sys; print('math' in sys.modules)"
False
An even easier check:
>>> python -c "import time; a = time.time(); import math; b = time.time();
>>> print(b-a)"
0.0006012916564941406
>>> python -c "import math, time; a = time.time(); import math; b =
>>> time.time(); print(b-a)"
9.5367431640625e-06
I guess I'm just pessimistic. Even so, that's not much reason to hide
the import inside a function.
