It should perhaps be qualified that Django doesn't require threads to
work and the conservative would run it in single threaded prefork MPM.
Whether it expects the threading module to still be importable is a
different matter though.

That is not a valid option to PythonOptimize and with that value
results would be unpredictable. It is off by default anyway.
