Not that I know of.  There are many delayed imports in idlelib. At least 
one is to avoid circular import error, as I discovered when I tried to 
move it to the top as suggested by PEP8.

Thanks for finding the site and producing the .pngs.  Even though 
missing a few links from importlib.import_module calls, they will be 
helpful.  I saved the 2nd one locally so I can view it at full size.

(The left column links such as debugger.py linking to 'debugger.py' are 
nonsensical.)
