If I recall there was a proposal a few months for a "lazy" keyword that would render anything lazy, including imports.
Instead of just adding laziness on generators, the on imports, then who knows where, maybe it's time to consider laziness is a hell of a good general concept and try to generalize it ? For imports, that would mean: lazy from module import stuff lazy import foo For the rest, bar = lazy 1 + 1 When you think about it, it's syntaxic sugar to avoid manually wrapping everything in functions, storying stuff in closure and calling that later.
