# This is a variant of the very old (early 90's) file
# Demo/threads/bug.py. It simply provokes a number of threads into
# trying to import the same module "at the same time".
# There are no pleasant failure modes -- most likely is that Python
# complains several times about module random having no attribute
# randrange, and then Python hangs.

# Tricky: When regrtest imports this module, the thread running regrtest
# grabs the import lock and won't let go of it until this module returns.
# All other threads attempting an import hang for the duration. Since
# this test spawns threads that do little *but* import, we can't do that
# successfully until after this module finishes importing and regrtest
# regains control. To make this work, a special case was added to
# regrtest to invoke a module's "test_main" function (if any) after
# importing it.
