class _ModuleRegistry: (source)
Registry of modules to load in a package init file. To avoid potential thread safety issues for imports that are deferred in a function, like https://bugs.python.org/issue38884, these modules are added to the system module cache by importing them after the packages has finished initialization. A global instance is provided under the name :attr:`.preloaded`. Use the function :func:`.preload_module` to register modules to load and :meth:`.import_prefix` to load all the modules that start with the given path. While the modules are loaded in the global module cache, it's advisable to access them using :attr:`.preloaded` to ensure that it was actually registered. Each registered module is added to the instance ``__dict__`` in the form `<package>_<module>`, omitting ``sqlalchemy`` from the package name. Example: ``sqlalchemy.sql.util`` becomes ``preloaded.sql_util``.
