This sounds similar to

OSX 10.6 is a lot stricter than earlier versions about loading OSX API modules
before a process is forked. Postponing the imports until after forking is the
solution.
The 0.6 C11 version of setuptools triggers this exception by loading Carbon on
its own. I believe this might have been fixed.
A way to find who loads what is to look at sys.modules.keys() at various stages
in the program.
