| :mod:`dummy_threading` --- Drop-in replacement for the :mod:`threading` module |
| ============================================================================== |
| |
| .. module:: dummy_threading |
| :synopsis: Drop-in replacement for the threading module. |
| |
| **Source code:** :source:`Lib/dummy_threading.py` |
| |
| -------------- |
| |
| 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 |
| 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. |
