Brandon Craig Rhodes <bran...@rhodesmill.org> added the comment: In case Google brings anyone else to this bug: this error typically indicates that a `threading.py` which is not actually the Standard Library's `threading` module has somehow wound up on an earlier path in `sys.path` and is therefore shadowing the Standard Library module. This upsets the Python exit logic, which tries to run `threading._shutdown()` if `threading` exists in `sys.modules`. I just helped someone on Stack Overflow with a situation like this, which in that case resulted from an error in how `pylint` works.
