Drop-in replacement for the \module{thread} module}

\modulesynopsis{Drop-in replacement for the thread module.}
|
|
|
|
This module provides a duplicate interface to the \refmodule{thread} module. It
|
|
is meant to be imported when the \module{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.
