:mod:`dummy_thread` --- Drop-in replacement for the :mod:`thread` module
|
|
========================================================================
|
|
|
|
.. module:: dummy_thread
|
|
:synopsis: Drop-in replacement for the thread module.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
