I feel stupid for not thinking of such an obvious solution.
(by the way, is _thread always available?)
_thread is a builtin module. It's available on every platform that
supports threading (which should be all platforms we support). If you
want to be extra carefully then use _dummy_thread as a fallback.
try:
from _thread import allocate_lock as Lock
except ImportError:
from _dummy_thread import allocate_lock as Lock
By the way I did some testing. We could save the load of the re and
couple of sre_* modules by rewriting a tiny bit of linecache. The
linecache module is using re to find the "# coding: spec" of a Python
source file when the load fails to return the source of a file. It'd
reduce the amount of loaded modules by 5.
Remove "import types" from warnings.py and you'll get one for free.
