Also I saw your conversation with "Brett Cannon" on lazy-loading some
modules at  startup, and also doing so using ModuleProxy(also several
implementations that exist like importlib's Lazyloader
<https://docs.python.org/3/library/importlib.html?highlight=lazy%20import#importlib.util.LazyLoader.factory>,
PEAK <http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/Importing> ).
So your suggestion's on this too?

Thank You

regards,
Bhavishya
