- :mod:`dummy_threading` --- Drop-in replacement for the :mod:`threading` module
- ==============================================================================
- .. module:: dummy_threading
- :synopsis: Drop-in replacement for the threading module.
- This module provides a duplicate interface to the :mod:`threading` module. It
- is meant to be imported when the :mod:`thread` module is not provided on a
- platform.
- Suggested usage is::
- try:
- import threading as _threading
- except ImportError:
- import dummy_threading as _threading
- 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.
