Comment(by mtd):

 Aren't we a little OT for this bug?

 And m_stone, re-reading "if everyone blindly followed style guidelines
 without making a conscious assessment of the costs imposed by those
 guidelines then we'd wind up... where we are today, with Python activities
 that import 10 seconds worth of code before becoming interactive", I don't
 understand what you really intend to argue with (I suspect many people
 have slavishly followed PEP 008 and indeed not ended up in that
 situation[1]).   I don't think anyone's arguing we should slavishly follow
 conventions nor is anyone arguing that we should not try to use good
 style[2] as defined by the language BDFL[2].

 I think the solution to your concern (if I understand it correctly) is
 something that includes:
 a) reduce modules doing work upon import (as in #5470; we should use #5228
 or similar to identify offending modules);
 b) lazy importing as in #5452 to squeeze the last ounce out (I volunteer
 and hope to have something shortly; unless there are mind-bending security
 issues this is a solved problem - see first four google hits for python
 lazy import)

 1. I am happy to do research on this given an identifiable corpus of
 python code to judge, but don't seriously believe anyone's going to
 question it.
