New submission from Samuele Santi:
I noticed this weird behavior in Python 3.6:
Apparently ``import package.module as _alias`` fails in a threaded environment,
sometimes raising an ``ImportError``, seemingly at random.
Everything seems to be working perfectly fine:
- On 3.5 and lower
- When *not* defining an alias, eg. ``import package.module``
- When using the ``from package import module as alias`` style
See this repo with code for reproducing the issue:
https://github.com/rshk/python36-import-alias-concurrency-bug
I tested this on the system Python 3.6.1 shipped with Archlinux (both inside
and outside of a virtualenv), and in the official docker image for 3.6.
This all started here https://github.com/psycopg/psycopg2/issues/550 as others
were experiencing this issue too.
