[issue4236] Crash when importing builtin module during interpreter shutdown

[Simon Cross]

Simon Cross <hodgestar at gmail.com> added the comment:

I'm attaching a patch to relax the check in PyModule_Create2 as suggested by the Amaury (http://bugs.python.org/issue4236#msg75409).

The patch uses "PyThreadState_Get()->interp->modules == NULL" to determine whether the import machinery has been cleaned up yet.

The test suite still appears to pass.
