| :mod:`_dummy_thread` --- Drop-in replacement for the :mod:`_thread` module |
| ========================================================================== |
| |
| .. module:: _dummy_thread |
| :synopsis: Drop-in replacement for the _thread module. |
| |
| **Source code:** :source:`Lib/_dummy_thread.py` |
| |
| .. deprecated:: 3.7 |
| Python now always has threading enabled. Please use :mod:`_thread` |
| (or, better, :mod:`threading`) instead. |
| |
| -------------- |
| |
| This module provides a duplicate interface to the :mod:`_thread` module. |
| It was meant to be imported when the :mod:`_thread` module was not provided |
| on a platform. |
| |
| 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. |
