New submission from STINNER Victor:
On old FreeBSD versions, concurrent.futures cannot be used. I don't remember
why, it's probably related to semaphores (something like a low hardcoded
limit). See for example first lines of Lib/test/test_concurrent_futures.py:
---
# Skip tests if _multiprocessing wasn't built.
test.support.import_module('_multiprocessing')
# Skip tests if sem_open implementation is broken.
test.support.import_module('multiprocessing.synchronize')
# import threading after _multiprocessing to raise a more revelant error
# message: "No module named _multiprocessing". _multiprocessing is not compiled
# without thread support.
test.support.import_module('threading')
---
The problem is that asyncio always try to import concurrent.futures. Example:
http://buildbot.python.org/all/builders/x86%20FreeBSD%206.4%203.x/builds/4213/steps/test/logs/stdio
test test_asyncio crashed -- Traceback (most recent call last):
