\section{\module{dummy_threading} --- Drop-in replacement for the \module{threading} module} \declaremodule[dummythreading]{standard}{dummy_threading} \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.
