When was this change made? Assuming it is, in fact, a change. It seems like most of the stdlib could be called in a thread, so the practice of lazily importing a module wholesale might need to be audited and proactively fixed. Maybe that could be a newcomer's easy(ish) project? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39430> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
