The test_concurrency() of test_import fails randomly on sys.settrace(). Example:

$ ./python -m test test_import -m test_concurrency -v -j30 -F --fail-env-changed 
(...)
0:00:13 load avg: 12.46 [ 97/1] test_import failed (env changed)
test_concurrency (test.test_import.ImportTests) ... ok

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 1 test in 0.487s

OK

The problem is that the _PyEval_SetTrace() function fails with RuntimeError("Cannot install a trace function while another trace function is being installed") on Py_XDECREF(traceobj); indirectly calls sys.settrace().

IMO Py_XDECREF(traceobj); should be called after reentrant = 0;, at the end of the function.

gh-98257: Make _PyEval_SetTrace() reentrant (#98258)
a8fe4bb 
Make sys.setprofile() and sys.settrace() functions reentrant.  They
can no long fail with: RuntimeError("Cannot install a trace function
while another trace function is being installed").

Make _PyEval_SetTrace() and _PyEval_SetProfile() functions reentrant,
rather than detecting and rejecting reentrant calls. Only delete the
reference to function arguments once the new function is fully set,
when a reentrant call is safe. Call also _PySys_Audit() earlier.
