Éric Araujo 29a0b57e4e Backport source links from 3.x.
Existing links have been updated to use the new reST role.  In some
files, I have also made cosmetic changes to the header.

: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`
--------------
This module provides a duplicate interface to the :mod:`threading` module. It
is meant to be imported when the :mod:`thread` module is not provided on a
platform.
Suggested usage is::
try:
import threading as _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.
