Hi everyone,

Since SciPy 1.9, we now have a lazy import mechanism which allows us to do `import scipy` and then work on any submodules without waiting time due to the import itself.

NumPy and Pandas, just to name these, have set a precedence for an idiomatic way of importing their library. This is arguably an advantage for introspection, debugging, teaching, consistency or even communication purposes. Hence, I would like to propose that we also adopt an idiomatic import style for SciPy.

If we would want to move forward with that idea, I would propose to make a brainstorming session with interested people to discuss the topic. This could for instance be a topic for next week’s community call.

Cheers,
Pamphile
