研究方向

閱讀 Lib/platform.py，尤其是模組層級的 _wmi 匯入和 _wmi_query()；issue 中包含一項提議的變更和測得的行為。檢查 test_platform 和 test_wmi 測試，然後確認匯入 platform 時不會載入 _wmi，且所述的 Windows 輔助函式仍傳回相同的值。

描述

OS-windows performance stdlib type-feature
Feature or enhancement

Lib/platform.py imports _wmi at module level on Windows. _wmi.pyd loads oleaut32.dll and propsys.dll (with _wmi.pyd itself and their dependencies, 7 more images in the process), but WMI is only queried by win32_ver(), version(), release(), uname() and the processor/machine helpers. Code that only imports platform, or calls python_version() or system(), pays for it anyway. pytest is one example: it imports platform on every run.

Moving the import into _wmi_query() (keeping the "unavailable" state so a failed import or query is not retried):

60 runs each, perf_counter around the import before after difference
import platform 18.6 ms 12.9 ms −5.5 ms [−6.0, −5.1]
import pytest 206 ms 196 ms −9.5 ms [−13.6, −4.7]

(python-build-standalone 3.14.4, Windows 11 26100.) win32_ver(), uname(), machine(), version() and processor() return the same values; test_platform and test_wmi pass.

The change, against main (2781ffe1f2):

(PEP 810's lazy import doesn't fit here because the import sits in try/except ImportError.)

I used GitHub Copilot (Claude Opus 5.5 model) to trace this, build and time the prototype, and draft this issue. The measurements were run on my machine.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere
