[wingide-users] Here's a strangeone...SocketServer.ThreadingTCPServer

[Harper, Jason]

Right...the in-line import of threading was being done in the thread I
spun up to run the server in.  Make sense.
Thanks.

This makes a bit of sense, Wing imports threading when it starts the 
debugger so it can install needed hooks.  It's a good idea to do all 
imports in a single thread because there is an import lock in the 
interpreter internals that can cause problems.
