Thank you both for your suggestions, here's the ticket: https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/33602
Also, do we want the name "lazy_import" in the global namespace? In the developer's manual it says that it should not, see https://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/developer/coding_in_python.html#deprecation, but maybe these instructions are little bit outdated.
