New submission from Ronan Lamy <ronan.l...@gmail.com>:
The IMPORT_NAME bytecode has a fast path calling
PyImport_ImportModuleLevelObject() that behaves differently from importlib. In
particular, test_circular_imports() in test_threaded_import.py fails due to a
_DeadlockError if you replace some import statements with
importlib.import_module() as in
diff --git a/Lib/test/test_importlib/test_threaded_import.py
