It's a matter of perspective, yes. But I'll close this bug, because
he's hitting the problem through a weird way, doing something that he
shouldn't.

The real problem here, if any, is that you can not make a second
import in another thread. Feel free to open a bug for this, but
addressing this specifically.

I'd prefer a PEP, though, ;)
