| |
| This module provides a duplicate interface to the |
| \refmodule{threading} module. It is meant to be imported when the |
| \refmodule{thread} module is not provided on a platform. |
| |
| Suggested usage is: |
| |
| \begin{verbatim} |
| try: |
| import threading as _threading |
| except ImportError: |
| import dummy_threading as _threading |
| \end{verbatim} |
| |
| 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. |
