AttributeError: partially initialized module 'json' has no attribute 'loads' (most likely due to a circular import)

Describe the bug Relocating a wheel that links to pyarrow, causes partially initialized json module.

To Reproduce I have a wheel that links against pyarrow. On linux, auditwheel works as expected. When instead running relocate-wheel on macOS, I get an import error. The problems seems to occur with a weird collision against pyarrow/_json.pyx module.

Expected behavior Relocate wheel should be able to run without problems.

Wheels used This is the branch I'm building: https://github.com/0x0L/pgeon/pull/7

Platform (please complete the following information):

OS version: macos-latest with cibuildwheel
Delocate version: the one shipped with cibuildwheel

  AttributeError: partially initialized module 'json' has no attribute 'loads' (most likely due to a circular import)

The wrapper script for the repair step in cibuildwheel is simply:

set -e

echo "delocate wrapper script"

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(python -c 'import pyarrow as pa; print(":".join(pa.get_library_dirs()))')

args=("$@")
dest_dir=${args[0]}
wheel=${args[1]}
delocate_arch=${args[2]}

delocate-wheel --require-archs {delocate_archs} -w {dest_dir} -v {wheel}
