Lazy Imports and Deprecations¶

Goal¶

Expose a stable module API while deferring heavyweight imports.

Steps¶

1. Add lazy import entries in Monkay(..., lazy_imports=...).
2. Add deprecated lazy imports for renamed attributes.
3. Keep __all__ synchronized via automatic update or update_all_var.
4. Use uncached_imports for values that must refresh on each access.

Example¶

See Reference: tutorial and Reference: specials.

Regression Checks¶

• Access each lazy attribute at least once in tests.
• Assert warning text for deprecated lazy imports.
• Validate exports using find_missing() in test helpers.
