[Python-Dev] Deadlock by a second import in a thread

I thought about this. It even will have the good side efect of not
shooting the whole "import" machinery to see that you already imported
it, every time you do an strptime.

One question: The program makes this:

    PyObject *strptime_module = PyImport_ImportModule("_strptime");
    ...
    Py_DECREF(strptime_module);

If I'd import it in the beggining of the file with the following...

    static PyObject *strptime_module = PyImport_ImportModule("_strptime");

... I'd never decref it, right?

Thank you!
