 9This module provides a duplicate interface to the :mod:`threading` module.  It
10is meant to be imported when the :mod:`thread` module is not provided on a
11platform.
12
13Suggested usage is::
14
15   try:
16       import threading as _threading
17   except ImportError:
18       import dummy_threading as _threading

20Be careful to not use this module where deadlock might occur from a thread
21being created that blocks waiting for another thread to be created.  This  often
22occurs with blocking I/O.
