1 :mod:`dummy_thread` --- Drop-in replacement for the :mod:`thread` module
2 ========================================================================
4 .. module:: dummy_thread
5 :synopsis: Drop-in replacement for the thread module.
8 The :mod:`dummy_thread` module has been renamed to :mod:`_dummy_thread` in
9 Python 3.0. The :term:`2to3` tool will automatically adapt imports when
10 converting your sources to 3.0; however, you should consider using the
11 high-lever :mod:`dummy_threading` module instead.
14 This module provides a duplicate interface to the :mod:`thread` module. It is
15 meant to be imported when the :mod:`thread` module is not provided on a
21 import thread as _thread
23 import dummy_thread as _thread
25 Be careful to not use this module where deadlock might occur from a thread
26 being created that blocks waiting for another thread to be created. This often
27 occurs with blocking I/O.
