gh-144957: Add test for lazy imports with __getattr__ by gourijain029-del · Pull Request #145330 · python/cpython
Adds a regression test for lazy imports working with modules that use __getattr__.
The issue reported that lazy from typing import Match would fail since Match is provided by typing.__getattr__ rather than being in the module dict. Testing shows this works correctly in current main - the existing code in register_lazy_on_parent() already checks for __getattr__ and skips adding lazy import objects to those modules.
This test documents the expected behavior and prevents future regressions.
Most changes to Python require a NEWS entry. Add one using the blurb_it web app or the blurb command-line tool.
If this change has little impact on Python users, wait for a maintainer to apply the skip news label instead.
Adds regression test to verify lazy imports work correctly with modules that use __getattr__ for dynamic attributes (e.g. typing.Match). The issue appears to be already fixed in current main branch.

Your test doesn't pass locally for me:

Presumably there's something with CI, needs investigation.
EDIT: See #145334.
When resolving lazy imports, check if a lazy import object was found and the module has __getattr__. If so, try calling __getattr__ first before using the lazy import object.
