[issue29288] Lookup Error while importing idna from a worker thread

[Ilya Kulakov]

New submission from Ilya Kulakov:

See this post: https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/issues/3578

The current workaround for requests is to have a no-op import somewhere in the code.

However, that doesn't really work for us: our python and stdlib are bundled by pyqtdeploy as in Qt resources system and we frequently see this error. On certain machines. Workaround that seems to work more reliably is a no-op look up via ''.encode('ascii').decode('idna').
