    For those to be equal you need both associativity and commutativity. Commutativity says that a*b = b*a, but that's not enough to allow arbitrary reordering. When you write a*b*c de…

    This would be a huge deal for Python startup time *if* it was applied to all the standard library packages recursively. Right now importing asyncio brings in half the standard libr…
