Correction to previous comment: you can't safely perform imports from daemon threads at all, as you have to set their daemon status before you start them. So, to be able to safely import from a thread other than the main thread: - it must be created by the threading module, or otherwise guaranteed to be terminated when the interpreter exits - if created through the threading module, it must not be set to daemon mode
