Importing not thread-save

See original GitHub issue

Sorry for posting information without any additional data, I have lack of experience to provide you simple example. I hope current information will enough.

The problem was in pyinstaller https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/2371 and now I see absolutely same problem with Nuitka last factory version on windows 7. One thread works perfect, 2 threads or more shows:

AttributeError: module 'XXX' has no attribute 'YYY'

I pushed this to the hotfix/0.5.32.8 branch, but I won’t be able to actually release it until after my holiday I suspect, at least not to PyPI.
