Therefore, this optimization only applies when a module is imported locally, for example, within a function.\n\n### Has this already been discussed elsewhere?\n\nThis is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere\n\n### Links to previous discussion of this feature:\n\n_No response_\n\n\u003c!-- gh-linked-prs --\u003e\n### Linked PRs\n* gh-143996\n\u003c!-- /gh-linked-prs --\u003e\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/aisk","@type":"Person","name":"aisk"},"datePublished":"2026-01-18T13:16:32.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":2},"url":"https://github.com/143995/cpython/issues/143995"}
