:mod:`dummy_thread` --- Drop-in replacement for the :mod:`thread` module
========================================================================
.. module:: dummy_thread
:synopsis: Drop-in replacement for the thread module.
This module provides a duplicate interface to the :mod:`thread` module. It is
meant to be imported when the :mod:`thread` module is not provided on a
platform.
Suggested usage is::
try:
import thread as _thread
except ImportError:
import dummy_thread as _thread
Be careful to not use this module where deadlock might occur from a thread
being created that blocks waiting for another thread to be created. This often
occurs with blocking I/O.
