But how do you know this code isn't executed from different threads?
What I anticipate to be the problem is that the "os" module is
imported twice, and there are two references to "os.lstat".  Normally,
this wouldn't cause a problem, because they are the same function that
doesn't have any state, but once you are trying to compare them, the
identity test will fail, because those functions were loaded multiple
times into different memory locations.

in principle it is), then it would explain the behavior.

The stack is a local variable and os.lstat, etc, are pushed and popped in one function and then another that it calls, so they're in the same thread.
