Python lazy import (3.15): the module loads on first use. 🐍 lazy import json "json" in sys.modules -> False json.dumps([1, 2]) "json" in sys.modules -> True #Python #Coding

Full video, The import system:

Python import system in one idea: import checks sys.modules first, so a module runs once. 🐍 → then sys.path, first match wins → circular import? import the module, use it later → lazy import is coming in 3.15 #Python #Coding
