# This is a helper module for test_threaded_import.  The test imports this
# module, and this module tries to run various Python library functions in
# their own thread, as a side effect of being imported.  If the spawned
# thread doesn't complete in TIMEOUT seconds, an "appeared to hang" message
# is appended to the module-global `errors` list.  That list remains empty
# if (and only if) all functions tested complete.

# this module holds the import lock, so if the function called by T tries
# to do its own imports it will block waiting for this module's import
