lazy import json
lazy from pathlib import Path

print("Starting up...") # json and pathlib are not fully imported yet

data = json.loads('{"key": "value"}') # json loads here
p = Path(".") # pathlib loads here
data = json.loads('{"key": "value"}') # json gets fully imported here
p = Path(".") # pathlib gets fully imported here
