Today I've been getting some occasional "ImportError"s when reloading the
runserver. I have a feeling it's a race condition when importing my custom
auth backend when runserver is reloading, likely caused by #33099 cached
imports, committed on Friday. It doesn't happen every time which makes it
harder to track down.
Maybe the `cached_import` logic needs to somehow check for a "partially
initialized module" and use the slow-path in that case?
I'm not 100% it's not just an issue on my end, but I at least wanted to
raise this here in case other people have issues and want to diagnose
further.
Here's an example (ImportError when importing my custom auth backend):
{{{
Request Method: GET
Request URL: /cart/dropdown/
Django Version: 4.0.dev20210913065016
Python Version: 3.8.10
Template error:
In template templates/order/cart_dropdown.html, error at line 3
Module "authbackend" does not define a "Bknd" attribute/class
3 : {% if request.order.ops %}
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "django/template/base.py", line 862, in _resolve_lookup
current = current[bit]
During handling of the above exception ('WSGIRequest' object is not
subscriptable), another exception occurred:

return cached_import(module_path, class_name)

The above exception (partially initialized module 'authbackend' has no
attribute 'Bknd' (most likely due to a circular import)) was the direct
cause of the following exception:
