PyImport_ImportModule deadlocks

[jms]

Hey all,

I have an embedded Python shell and everything works fine, however, in
my stdout catcher (in C to grab tracebacks) for some reason when I do
a :

PyImport_ImportModule( "sys" )

It deadlocks the process, is there a need for me to acquire locks
inside of my stdout catching function before calling that import?

The deadlock might be due to the import lock. But instead of analyzing
that issue: why do you want to import sys? The sys module is always
available. To access its attributes, use PySys_GetObject &Co.
