+# This is a helper module for test_threaded_import.  The test imports this

+# their own thread, as a side effect of being imported.  If the spawned
+# thread doesn't complete in TIMEOUT seconds, an "appeared to hang" message
+# is appended to the module-global `errors` list.  That list remains empty
+# if (and only if) all functions tested complete.
