Yeah, you should ideally be able to cache the resuls of the import,
except then your code wouldn't work when theer are multiple
interpreters. Maybe using
PyObject *modules = PySys_GetObject("modules");
PyObject *m = PyDict_Lookup(modules, "copy");
would be faster? PySys_GetObject() doesn't waste much time. :-)
