I confirm that when I comment out numpy/__init__.py's "import polynomial"
then the import time for numpy.core.multiarray goes from
0.084u 0.031s 0:00.11 100.0% 0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w
to
0.058u 0.028s 0:00.08 87.5% 0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w
numpy/polynomial imports:
from polynomial import Polynomial
from chebyshev import Chebyshev
from legendre import Legendre
from hermite import Hermite
from hermite_e import HermiteE
from laguerre import Laguerre
and there's no easy way to make these be lazy imports.
Strange! The bottom of hermite.py has:
exec polytemplate.substitute(name='Hermite', nick='herm', domain='[-1,1]')
as well as similar code in laguerre.py, chebyshev.py, hermite_e.py,
and polynomial.py.
I bet there's a lot of overhead generating and exec'ing
those for each import!
