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 as _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.
