gh-999998: Speed up pdb startup with lazy imports
Defer the eight imports that are not already pulled in by pdb's required-eager imports (cmd, bdb, code, typing and the guarded _pyrepl.utils), and lift five unguarded function-level imports to module-scope lazy imports. Guard Pdb._get_asyncio_task() on 'asyncio' in sys.modules. It runs on every interaction(), so without the guard the deferred asyncio import is paid back immediately on the first breakpoint and the lazy import buys nothing for an actual debugging session. If asyncio was never imported there cannot be a running task, so returning None is equivalent. The guarded imports (readline, rlcompleter, _pyrepl) stay function-level: they sit in try/except ImportError blocks, and hoisting them would move the failure outside the guard. import pdb -42.1% breakpoint() -> cont -41.1% python -m pdb script -33.4% pdb post-mortem -33.3%
