TARIFF is a parody Python package that imposes 'tariffs' on imports, artificially slowing down specified packages by a configurable percentage using import hooks. It announces each tariff with a humorous message, making it a joke tool rather than production software.
Use cases
- slow down imports of specific python packages as a joke
- prank coworkers by making numpy imports slower
- demonstrate python import hooks and monkey-patching
- add humorous messages to import statements
- learn how python import machinery works
When to choose
- you want a novelty or gag package for fun
- you're teaching or demoing python import hooks
- you want a lighthearted prank for a codebase
When to avoid
- you need real performance optimization or import profiling
- you're building production software
- you need serious dependency or import-time analysis
