Part of #326.
tempfileis a relatively heavy import that's only used in a few routines, and they aren't always called when usingimportlib_resources, especially in the common case ofas_file()being passed apathlib.Pathobject. Thus, I think it's worthwhile to defer importing it until it's actually used.This PR effectively inlines the one function using
tempfileat module-level scope to avoid an import-time dependency ontempfile. It then "inlines" the necessary import in the two functions that use it.Based on local testing, doing so improves the upfront import time of
importlib_resourcesby about ~30% on supported CPython versions and ~50% on PyPy3.10.
