\section{\module{dummy_thread} --- Drop-in replacement for the \module{thread} module} \declaremodule[dummythread]{standard}{dummy_thread} \modulesynopsis{Drop-in replacement for the \refmodule{thread} module.} This module provides a duplicate interface to the \refmodule{thread} 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 thread as _thread except ImportError: import dummy_thread as _thread \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.
