:mod:`dummy_thread` --- Drop-in replacement for the :mod:`thread` module
|
|
========================================================================
|
|
|
|
.. module:: dummy_thread
|
|
:synopsis: Drop-in replacement for the thread module.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
The :mod:`dummy_thread` module has been renamed to :mod:`_dummy_thread` in
|
|
Python 3.0. The :term:`2to3` tool will automatically adapt imports when
|
|
converting your sources to 3.0; however, you should consider using the
|
|
high-lever :mod:`dummy_threading` module instead.
|
|
|
|
**Source code:** :source:`Lib/dummy_thread.py`
|
|
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
This module provides a duplicate interface to the :mod:`thread` module. It is
|
|
meant to be imported when the :mod:`thread` module is not provided on a
|
|
platform.
|
|
|
|
Suggested usage is::
|
|
|
|
try:
|
|
import thread as _thread
|
|
except ImportError:
|
|
import dummy_thread as _thread
|
|
|
|
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.
