7This module provides a duplicate interface to the \refmodule{thread}
8module. It is meant to be imported when the \refmodule{thread} module
9is not provided on a platform.

11Suggested usage is:
12
13\begin{verbatim}
14try:
15 import thread as _thread
16except ImportError:
17 import dummy_thread as _thread
18\end{verbatim}
19
20Be careful to not use this module where deadlock might occur from a thread
21being created that blocks waiting for another thread to be created. This
22often occurs with blocking I/O.
