"dummy_threading" — Drop-in replacement for the "threading" module
******************************************************************

**Source code:** Lib/dummy_threading.py

======================================================================

This module provides a duplicate interface to the "threading" module.
It is meant to be imported when the "_thread" module is not provided
on a platform.

Suggested usage is:

try:
import threading
except ImportError:
import dummy_threading as threading

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.
