:mod:`dummy_thread` --- Drop-in replacement for the :mod:`thread` module

???
.. module:: dummy_thread
   :synopsis: Drop-in replacement for the thread module.

Note

The :mod:`dummy_thread` module has been renamed to :mod:`_dummy_thread` in Python 3. The :term:`2to3` tool will automatically adapt imports when converting your sources to Python 3; however, you should consider using the high-lever :mod:`dummy_threading` module instead.

????

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 as _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.
