| 11 | This module provides a duplicate interface to the :mod:`threading` module. It |
| 12 | is meant to be imported when the :mod:`thread` module is not provided on a |
| 13 | platform. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Suggested usage is:: |
| 16 | |
| 17 | try: |
| 18 | import threading as _threading |
| 19 | except ImportError: |
| 20 | import dummy_threading as _threading |
| 21 | |
| 22 | Be careful to not use this module where deadlock might occur from a thread |
| 23 | being created that blocks waiting for another thread to be created. This often |
| 24 | occurs with blocking I/O. |
