What's up Python? Lazy imports, django gets a task queue...

Two major Python ecosystem developments are covered. First, PEP 810 proposes lazy imports for Python 3.15, allowing imports to be deferred until first use via a new `lazy` keyword, interpreter modes, env vars, and a Python API — addressing startup performance issues in CLI tools and large codebases. The PEP handles edge cases like thread safety, circular imports, and introspection. Second, Django 6.0 will ship built-in background task queues via DEP 14, offering a simple decorator-based API with a database backend and worker process — a lightweight alternative to Celery/rq for basic use cases. Also noted: six still ranks in PyPI top 20, mypy 1.18.1 with performance improvements, uv gaining opt-in invalid wheel support, and nanodjango's new website.
