|

|
|
|

|
|
This module provides a duplicate interface to the \refmodule{threading} module. It
|
||
|
|
is meant to be imported when the \module{threading} 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.
