:mod:`_dummy_thread` --- Drop-in replacement for the :mod:`_thread` module
|
|
==========================================================================
|
|
|
|
.. module:: _dummy_thread
|
|
:synopsis: Drop-in replacement for the _thread module.
|
|
|
|
**Source code:** :source:`Lib/_dummy_thread.py`
|
|
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
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.
