Hi Arnaud,

Thread 1 is trying to import a module 'foo.bar' (where 'foo' is a package containing dynamic modules) handled by Import Hooks I implemented, so import lock is acquired before even running the hooks (Python/import.c:PyImportImportModuleLevel()). Then, these import hooks try to load objects from ZODB and a request is sent and handled by another thread (Thread 2) which itself tries to import another module.

A quick hack might be to call imp.release_lock() and imp.acquire_lock() explicitly, from your import hook code, around calls to ZODB.

A bientôt,

Armin.
