Lifeguard: A static analyzer for Python lazy imports compatibility

Lifeguard for Lazy Imports A fast static analysis tool to aid adoption of Lazy Imports in Python. What are Lazy Imports? In Python, every import statement executes immediately when a module is loaded. This overhead is incurred regardless of whether that import is actually used. PEP 810 introduces explicit Lazy Imports to Python, which defer the actual loading of a module until the imported name is first accessed. Lazy Imports can significantly reduce memory usage, startup times, and import overhead, especially in large codebases with deep dependency trees.
