      1. What would you like to communicate to the user about this feature?
      2. Would you like the user to see examples of the syntax and/or executable code and its output?
      3. Which versions of the driver/connector does this apply to?

      Context

      https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/114763 uncovered that lazily-loaded modules cannot have their attributes accessed in a thread-safe manner. This was fixed in Python 3.11.9 and Python 3.12.  

      Definition of done

      Our lazy-loading code should check to verify that the user is using a thread-safe version of Python before running.
