\modulesynopsis{Drop-in replacement for the \refmodule{threading} module.}
This module provides a duplicate interface to the
\refmodule{threading} module. It is meant to be imported when the
\refmodule{thread} module is not provided on a platform.
Suggested usage is:
\begin{verbatim}
try:
import threading as _threading
except ImportError:
import dummy_threading as _threading
\end{verbatim}
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.
