I would rather like to see a function in importlib that handles deferred
imports:
modulename = importlib.deferred_import('modulename')
def deferred_import(name):
if name in sys.modules:
# special case 'None' here
return sys.modules[name]
else:
return ModuleProxy(name)
ModuleProxy is a module type subclass that loads the module on demand.
