I haven't created pull request yet. (Can I create without issue, as trivial patch?)
Trivial, no-issue PRs are meant for things like typo fixes that need no discussion or record.
Moving imports in violation of the PEP 8 rule, "Imports are always put at the top of the file, just after any module comments and docstrings, and before module globals and constants", is not trivial. Doing so voluntarily for speed, as opposed to doing so necessarily to avoid circular import errors, is controversial.

Make sense. I'll create issues for each module if it seems really worth enough. Thanks,
