Should PyImport_ImportModule be threadsafe when importing from zipfiles?

[Geoff Bache]

OK, I see what you mean with the import backup change now, though it seems
like it changes the semantics of Python's import mechanism a bit...

But I still don't really get what information we'd gain from doing this.
What call is being made and is failing is pretty obvious from the
stacktrace.

Thanks for your replies, anyway.
