Measures what imports actually cost, verifies which ones can be deferred under
PEP 810, applies the change, and guards the result in CI.
The four commands:
profile runs a target under -X importtime with the interpreter baseline
subtracted, medianed over several trials, as a table or a tree.
audit pairs static candidate detection with a runtime pass on Python 3.15.
Every import comes back safe, no-win (it loads anyway, so deferring
buys nothing), or unsafe (the test command fails with it deferred).
Failures are bisected so the report names the module responsible.
apply rewrites imports as `lazy import` or as a __lazy_modules__ set,
gated on measured saving rather than on what a parser thinks.
check enforces [tool.lazybudget] budgets and diffs the imported module set
against a committed import.lock, so a dependency that starts pulling
in something new shows up in the pull request.
Verification is scoped to (importing module, imported module) pairs rather than
bare module names, so it reflects what the codemod would actually do.
Savings are priced from the eager profile. Running the interpreter with a filter
callback on every import costs about as much as the saving on a small target, so
subtracting the two runs reports noise.
No runtime dependencies on 3.11+, and it runs its own budget check in CI.

In @.github/workflows/ci.yml:
- Around line 16-17: Pin all 13 GitHub Action references to immutable full
commit SHAs, replacing symbolic tags or branches such as the checkout/setup
actions in .github/workflows/ci.yml lines 16-17 and every action in
.github/workflows/release.yml lines 11-14, including
pypa/gh-action-pypi-publish@release/v1. Preserve each action’s current behavior
while applying the change at both affected workflow sites.
- Line 16: Disable checkout credential persistence on all five checkout steps:
update .github/workflows/ci.yml lines 16, 30, 39, and 50, plus
.github/workflows/release.yml line 11, by setting persist-credentials to false
for each actions/checkout@v4 invocation.
- Around line 8-14: Set workflow-level contents: read permission in
.github/workflows/ci.yml. In .github/workflows/release.yml, set contents: read
on the build job and keep the publish job limited to id-token: write; make no
other permission changes.
In @.github/workflows/release.yml:
- Around line 3-5: Update the release workflow triggered by tags matching v* to
validate that the tag’s version matches the built project version from
pyproject.toml, failing before publication on mismatch; alternatively, derive
the project version from the tag so the published artifact uses the tagged
version.
In `@README.md`:
- Around line 11-13: Add language identifiers to every fenced code block in
README.md, including the blocks containing the pip install command and the
ranges referenced by the review, using the appropriate identifiers such as
shell, text, toml, yaml, or python.
In `@src/lazybudget/audit.py`:
- Around line 92-105: Update module_name to account for PEP 420 namespace
packages by resolving the module’s path against sys.path entries after the
__init__.py walk stops, so the returned dotted name includes namespace package
directories and matches importer/proposal pairs. Preserve existing
regular-package behavior and provide an explicit warning when no sys.path-based
name can be resolved.
- Line 201: In the deferred_entries construction, create the set of
reification.deferred once before the comprehension, then reuse that local set
for each entry’s membership check instead of rebuilding it per iteration.
- Around line 195-196: Update run around check_reification and _measure_lazy to
inspect the reification process result, and fail loudly when its returncode
indicates failure, matching the existing eager-measurement error-handling path.
Include reification.stderr in the raised or reported error, and only continue to
verdict generation when verification succeeds.
In `@src/lazybudget/cli.py`:
- Around line 163-189: The _audit function in src/lazybudget/cli.py lines
163-189 must return report.eager.returncode when it is nonzero, before producing
the normal success result, including JSON mode. In _apply at
src/lazybudget/cli.py lines 258-266, perform the same nonzero-return check
before evaluating accepted edits; add CLI tests covering failed targets for both
audit and apply.
- Line 38: Update the profile argument parser around the target argument and
_profile so the documented -m module form is accepted, including its module name
and optional --tree flag, and converted into the target specification consumed
by profiling. Preserve existing command-target behavior and add an integration
test covering lazybudget profile -m mypkg.cli --tree.
In `@src/lazybudget/codemod.py`:
- Around line 77-83: Update the candidate ordering in the codemod loop to sort
by both line number and column offset in descending order, processing later
same-line imports before earlier ones. Preserve the existing reverse-line
processing and lazy-prefix checks so insertions do not shift subsequent
candidate columns.
- Around line 66-72: Update the module collection in the Edit construction to
exclude relative candidates consistently with _apply_dunder, so Edit.modules
contains only modules actually written by the lazy-modules style and the CLI
reports accurate changed modules.
In `@src/lazybudget/config.py`:
- Around line 117-120: Validate max_ms in the configuration-to-Budget conversion
before constructing Budget, rejecting non-finite float values such as NaN and
infinity while preserving None handling and valid finite budgets. Add regression
coverage in tests/test_config.py for non-finite max_import_ms inputs.
In `@src/lazybudget/lock.py`:
- Around line 80-82: Update write to create path.parent and any missing parent
directories before calling path.write_text, so configured nested lock paths can
be initialized on the first update. Add an end-to-end update test covering lock
= "ci/imports.lock" without a pre-existing ci directory.
In `@src/lazybudget/measure.py`:
- Around line 162-168: Update the subprocess invocation in the measurement flow
around subprocess.run to use a configurable timeout, ensuring profile, audit,
and repeated trials cannot block indefinitely. Catch subprocess.TimeoutExpired
and convert it into a failed Measurement while preserving useful timeout details
in diagnostic stderr.
- Line 81: Update the baseline flow around _baseline, _env_key, and _run to
normalize extra_flags, include them in the baseline cache key, and pass the same
flags to baseline trials as the target interpreter. Add a regression test using
a non-default interpreter flag such as -S, verifying baseline and target
measurements use identical flags.
- Around line 79-85: Validate that trials is positive at the start of the
measurement flow, before resolving the target or calling _baseline, and raise
ValueError for zero or negative values. Preserve the existing behavior for
positive trial counts and the subsequent _run loop.
In `@src/lazybudget/runtime.py`:
- Around line 261-270: Update _run_command and _run_with_lazy to pass a
configurable timeout to subprocess.run, using the same timeout configuration for
both child-process paths. Catch subprocess.TimeoutExpired and convert it into
the existing failed-run result format so audit and _bisect do not block
indefinitely.
- Around line 308-318: Update child_env to read PYTHONPATH from the merged full
environment so caller-provided values are preserved, while still prepending tmp.
Simplify the no-result-path branch to assign the ignored result path directly
and remove the ineffective RESULT_ENV removal and misleading comment.
- Around line 33-34: Remove the duplicated consecutive comment line near the
filter injection in runtime.py, leaving a single comment documenting that the
filter is installed before user code runs.
In `@src/lazybudget/static.py`:
- Around line 89-95: Update the fallback parsing in the function containing
_LAZY_STATEMENT so its substitution preserves the matched “lazy ” text length by
replacing those characters with spaces rather than deleting them. Keep line
contents and column offsets aligned with the original source while retaining the
existing fallback ast.parse behavior.
- Around line 162-165: Update _module_name or its caller to reject ast.Import
nodes containing multiple aliases before creating lazy-loading candidates, so
statements such as import a, b cannot be partially verified or deferred;
preserve existing handling for single-alias imports and ast.ImportFrom nodes.
In `@src/lazybudget/targets.py`:
- Around line 49-50: Update the target parsing flow around shlex.split so
ValueError from malformed quoting is converted to TargetError, and handle an
empty parts result before accessing parts[0] by raising TargetError for the
unresolvable target. Preserve normal head/rest parsing for valid non-empty
input.
In `@tests/test_codemod.py`:
- Around line 46-49: Add a test in test_lazy_keyword_is_idempotent’s test module
covering the source input “import json; import zlib”, and assert the codemod
output has the expected import ordering and remains correct on repeated
application. Reuse the existing SOURCE/edit assertion pattern and target the
behavior implemented by edit.
In `@tests/test_runtime.py`:
- Around line 141-153: Update test_applying_the_audit_keeps_the_program_working
to pass the project’s test command to audit_mod.run, making module
classification independent of timing; also assert explicitly that svc.plugins is
excluded from accepted before applying edits, while preserving the existing
audit-and-apply flow.

Correctness: - A verification run that crashes no longer reads as a clean report. The injected atexit handler never writes its file when the target dies, so every proposed module came back as "never imported, nothing to win". It now fails loudly with the captured stderr, the same way a failed eager measurement does. - `import a, b` is rejected instead of made a candidate. The statement can only be deferred as a unit, but only the first alias was ever verified, so accepting one module would have deferred the other unchecked. - The codemod sorts candidates by line and column. `import json; import zlib` puts two on one line, and inserting into the earlier one shifted the later one's column by five, dropping `lazy ` inside the following statement. - `audit` and `apply` exit non-zero when the target could not be measured. A typo in --target used to pass in CI. - `profile -m module` works. The epilog documented it; argparse rejected it. - Non-finite and negative budgets are rejected at load. `max_import_ms = nan` compares false against everything, so the check always passed. - `Edit.modules` no longer lists relative imports that the lazy-modules style never wrote. Robustness: - Timeouts on every child process. A target that starts a server or loops used to hang profile and audit forever, and `_bisect` runs the test command several times over. Both convert a hang into an ordinary failed run. - `trials=0` raises instead of an IndexError from the median. - The baseline runs with the same interpreter flags as the target, and the flags are part of its cache key. Passing -S otherwise subtracted site's startup cost from a target that never paid it. - `shlex` failures on an unbalanced quote become TargetError, as documented. - The lock file's parent directory is created, so `lock = "ci/imports.lock"` works on the first run. - An audit where every candidate comes back not-imported, while the target demonstrably imports some of them, now says so. That is what a namespace package looks like from here: the file's module name is computed by walking up through __init__.py files, the walk stops early, and the runtime filter never matches. Workflows: actions pinned to commit SHAs, checkout credentials not persisted, token permissions dropped to contents: read, and a release refuses to publish when the tag does not match the version in pyproject.toml. Two suggestions not taken. Padding `lazy ` out with spaces in the fallback parse would preserve column offsets and turn every top-level import into an IndentationError; the docstring was wrong, not the code, and now says so. Resolving namespace package names against sys.path is more machinery than the case warrants, so it warns instead.

child_env read PYTHONPATH from os.environ and then merged the caller's env over
it, so `env={"PYTHONPATH": "/project"}` was silently dropped and the child could
not import the code being measured. It reads from the merged mapping now. The
pop of RESULT_ENV next to an unconditional set was dead, and its comment
described a branch that did not exist; both are gone.
The column-offset invariant now actually holds rather than being documented
away. `_parse` reports which lines it stripped a `lazy` keyword from, along with
the indentation it started at, and only statements that followed the keyword on
that line are shifted back. The lazy statement itself still starts where `lazy`
starts, which is also what 3.15 reports natively, so the analysis gives the same
answer on every version. This matters for `lazy import json; import zlib`: the
codemod inserts at that column, and five characters out writes into the middle
of the following statement.

- Bisection recurses into both failing halves. A codebase with two unrelated import side effects has an unsafe entry in each half; following only the first left the other classified safe, and `apply` would then have deferred it. Two unit tests cover it, including the case where neither half fails alone. - A failed lazy profiling run no longer becomes savings. An empty module list from a crashed run is indistinguishable from a run that skipped everything, so `_attribute` was handing out positive numbers and `_verdict` was marking them safe. - The baseline honours the caller's timeout. `measure(timeout=1)` could still sit through five 300-second baseline runs before launching the target. - Config validation happens before conversion. `max_import_ms = "abc"` raised a bare ValueError instead of ConfigError, and `max_modules = -0.5` passed the negative check because int(-0.5) is 0. - The extra-flags baseline test actually distinguishes the regression now. It measured `import json` under -S and asserted `site` was absent, which was true either way. It measures `import site` and asserts the cost is attributed. - The budget job is pinned to one interpreter, and a drift failure says so when the lock was written on a different Python, since the standard library's own module set moves between releases.
PyPI rejects `lazybudget`: `lazy-budget` already exists, and project creation normalizes away hyphens and underscores, so the two are the same name as far as PyPI is concerned. The per-name JSON API is exact-match and returns 404 for `lazybudget`, which is what misled the original check. `importcost` was verified against the full 877k-project index under the same normalization PyPI applies. It also reads better: the tool's pitch is finding out what imports cost, and the lazy-import machinery is how it fixes what it finds. Package, CLI, config section (`[tool.importcost]`), pytest plugin, and the IMPORTCOST_* environment variables all move together.
