As I said: I doubt it is the right thing to do. Instead, the lock should get released in the child process if it is held at the point of the fork.
I'm not sure if this bug can be reproduced now, but the comment in warnings.py points to:
I didn't investigate it further. That might allow someone to create a reproducible test case.
That's a different problem, though. Here, the main thread waits for a child *thread* while holding the import lock. I don't quite understand the test case given, and I can't make it deadlock anymore (probably because of Just's fix). Regards, Martin
