| :mod:`dummy_threading` --- Drop-in replacement for the :mod:`threading` module | |
| ============================================================================== | |
| .. module:: dummy_threading | |
| :synopsis: Drop-in replacement for the threading module. | |
| **Source code:** :source:`Lib/dummy_threading.py` | |
| .. deprecated:: 3.7 | |
| Python now always has threading enabled. Please use :mod:`threading` instead. | |
| -------------- | |
| This module provides a duplicate interface to the :mod:`threading` 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. |
