I suggest to use a global variable to avoid the import at each call:
You can define the selectors variable to None at the top of the file with a comment:

I checked several recent PRs making module loading lazy, but most of them do not use the pattern with a global variable (I suspect for readability reasons).
@vstinner Are there any other reasons besides the small performance improvement for using the global variable?

@serhiy-storchaka: Do you think that it's still useful in 2024 to use a global variable to avoid
import selectors
at each function call?There was a problem hiding this comment.

I'd just do the import. It's a mere dict lookup without a conditional when the import has already happened.

Just measure. It is more than a mere dict lookup (we also need to check that the module is not partially initialized, this adds 2 more dict lookups or like).
In this case, I think that the difference may be small even in comparison with a single os.fstat() call. The idiom proposed by @vstinner may be used when the whole function is very fast.
