Load lazily referenced portage submodules into memory, so imports won't fail during portage upgrade/downgrade. Note that this recursively loads only the modules that are lazily referenced by currently imported modules, so some portage submodules may still remain unimported after this function is called.

_unregister_module_proxy(name)

source code

Destroy all proxies that reference the give module name. Also, check for other proxies referenced by modules that have been imported and destroy those proxies too. This way, destruction of a single proxy can trigger destruction of all the rest. If a target module appears to be partially imported (indicated when an AttributeError is caught), this function will leave in place proxies that reference it.

lazyimport(scope, *args)

source code

Create a proxy in the given scope in order to performa a lazy import.
