"_dummy_thread" — Drop-in replacement for the "_thread" module **************************************************************
**Source code:** Lib/_dummy_thread.py
======================================================================
This module provides a duplicate interface to the "_thread" module. It is meant to be imported when the "_thread" module is not provided on a platform.
Suggested usage is:
try: import _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.
