Hi, I hope I am not annoying you with this, but there is one open issue with the delayed importer: Starting in a fresh python session

import scipy help("scipy.linalg") is okay.

Though in most cases the user will already have done an import of scipy or one of its modules, the above behaviour might be confusing. (Is it also problematic for doc-string extracting tools ?) There is one more thing I would like to say: _Many_ thanks to you, Pearu and Travis, for all your help and fixes! Best Arnd
