This module provides a duplicate interface to the :mod:`_thread` module. It is
|
|
|
|
|
meant to be imported when the :mod:`_thread` module is not provided on a
|
|
|
|
|
platform.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Suggested usage is::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
try:
|
|
|
|
|
import _thread
|
|
|
|
|
except ImportError:
|
|
|
|
|
import dummy_thread as _thread
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
