Locale import is too slow in comparison with caching module in a global or even in sys.modules.
>>> import timeit
>>> def f():
... import locale
...
>>> min(timeit.repeat(f, number=100000, repeat=10))
0.4501200000013341
>>> _locale = None
>>> def g():
... global _locale
... if _locale is None:
... import _locale
...
>>> min(timeit.repeat(g, number=100000, repeat=10))
0.07821200000034878
>>> import sys
>>> def h():
... try:
... locale = sys.modules['locale']
... except KeyError:
... import locale
...
>>> min(timeit.repeat(h, number=100000, repeat=10))

I think there is an overhead of look up __import__, packing arguments in a tuple and calling a function. This can be omitted by looking first in sys.module and calling __import__ only when nothing was found. |
