What is the difference between import outside and inside the method? what is the difference in performance?

-sharp 1
import time
s =time.time()
print(time.time())
print(time.time())
print(time.time())
print(time.time())
print(time.time())
print(format(time.time()-s,"f"))
-sharp 2
def get_time():
    import time
    print(time.time())
s = time.time()
get_time()
get_time()
get_time()
get_time()
get_time()
print(format(time.time()-s,"f"))

what is the difference in performance between the two? What"s the difference?

I don't know much about it, but your test code doesn't respond to the problem. I tried it myself

The logic of

import is as far as I know

if the currently introduced package has already been introduced, it will not be reintroduced, but its address will be copied to the current scope

simple test of py2

  

when called in a function, the package is imported multiple times, and the top import is used only once
