IIUC the organizations that most strongly pushed for this feature are big companies with large codebases. These tend not to be the kinds of orgs that just casually pull in dependencies from PyPI on a whim; I think it more likely that the quantity of first-party code was so large that importing all of it on startup was causing problems.
- sirsinsalot 5mo agoI worked in a codebase like this. The load time was insane. We would also constantly need to put imports in function heads to effectively lazy import due to the massive risk of circular imports. We also had dynamic imports so tracking the cycles was very difficult at times.
