+Lazy imports
+
+This module allows one to lazily import objects into a namespace,
+where the actual import is delayed until the object is actually called
+or inspected. This is useful for modules that are expensive to import
+or may cause circular references, though there is some overhead in its
+use.
+
+EXAMPLES::
+
+    sage: lazy_import('sage.rings.integer_ring', 'ZZ')
+    sage: type(ZZ)
+    <class 'sage.misc.lazy_import.LazyImport'>
+    sage: ZZ(4.0)
+    4
+
+By default, a warning is issued if a lazy import module is resolved
+during Sage's startup. In case a lazy import's sole purpose is to
+break a circular reference and it is known to be resolved at startup
+time, one can use the ``at_startup`` option::
+
+    sage: lazy_import('sage.rings.integer_ring', 'ZZ', at_startup=True)
+
+This option can also be used as an intermediate step toward not
+importing by default a module that is used in several places, some of
+which can already afford to lazy import the module but not all.
+
+A lazy import that is marked as "at_startup" will print a message if
+it is actually resolved after the startup, so that the developer knows
+that (s)he can remove the flag::
+
+    sage: ZZ                                                                            # needs sage.all
+    doctest:warning...
+    UserWarning: Option ``at_startup=True`` for lazy import ZZ not needed anymore
+    Integer Ring

+
+        Here we show how to take a function in a module, and lazy
+        import it as a method of a class. For the sake of this
+        example, we add manually a function in :mod:`sage.all__sagemath_objects`::
+
+            sage: def my_method(self): return self
+            sage: import sage.all__sagemath_objects

+            sage: class Foo():
+            ....:     my_method = LazyImport('sage.all__sagemath_objects', 'my_method')

+            sage: Foo.my_method

+
+        When a :class:`LazyImport` method is a method (or attribute)

+        .. NOTE::
+
+           For a :class:`LazyImport` object that appears in a class
+           namespace, we need to do something special. Indeed, the
+           class namespace dictionary at the time of the class
+           definition is not the one that actually gets used. Thus,
+           ``__get__`` needs to manually modify the class dict::
+
+               sage: class Foo():
+               ....:     lazy_import('sage.plot.plot', 'plot')
+               sage: class Bar(Foo):
+               ....:     pass
+               sage: type(Foo.__dict__['plot'])
+               <class 'sage.misc.lazy_import.LazyImport'>
+
+           We access the ``plot`` method::
+
+               sage: Bar.plot                                                           # needs sage.plot
+               <function plot at 0x...>
+
+           Now ``plot`` has been replaced in the dictionary of ``Foo``::
+
+               sage: type(Foo.__dict__['plot'])                                         # needs sage.plot
