I am not an expert of when Python actually imports class Pool and raises ImportError but in my opinion it should be in the actual importing code:

from multiprocessing.dummy import Pool

In CPython they wrap importing of module in try except clause.
(https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/d9a43e20facdf4ad10186f820601c6580e1baa80/Lib/multiprocessing/synchronize.py#L24-L33)

So the except part will never be executed in current implementation.

Also it might be cleaner to move both for loops in a fetch_latest_info_multithreaded and fetch_latest_info_single_threaded, and then include the from multiprocessing.dummy import Pool in the fetch_latest_info_multithreaded function

Yeah, I think the ImportError block needs to be put on the from multiprocessing.dummy line instead.

yeah I was wondering if this reliance on delayed import would be allowed, I'll change it if it's really necessary
I'm not sure what you mean by "the except part will never be executed" though @CrafterKolyan, since that exception is exactly what caused this issue; raising from within an except block still raises.

I'm not exactly sure from the original bug report which statement is triggering the ImportError. We should probably determine that, and just wrap that in the try...except (maybe setting a flag that we test later to choose the right code path).

Also, should this code have a test? Otherwise there's a (small) risk that the two implementations get out of line.

dist = latest_info(dist)
