PEP 810 (explicit lazy imports, CPython 3.15+) lets a module defer imports via a
__lazy_modules__declaration. On older Pythons the attribute is simply ignored, so adding it is backward compatible. A small set of pandas subsystems are imported eagerly today but are only needed once a specific entry point is called. Deferring them with__lazy_modules__keeps them out of a plainimport pandas:read_*/to_*/ Excel / parquet / html / sql / json /stata / sas / … and the optional third-party engines they pull in;
pandas.testing(theassert_*helpers);eval/query,resample,interchange, andpandas.apire-export stacks.Make more imports lazy would require reworking
pandas.coreas the many dependencies in modules there make it hard to use PEP 810 without additional changes.Benchmarks
The import time depends a bit on the workload, so adding multiple benchmarks.
