This module provides a duplicate interface to the \refmodule{thread}
|
|
|
|
|
module. It is meant to be imported when the \refmodule{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.
