17.11._dummy_thread — Drop-in replacement for the_thread module¶

Source code:Lib/_dummy_thread.py

This module provides a duplicate interface to the_thread module. It ismeant to be imported when the_thread module is not provided on aplatform.

Suggested usage is:

Be careful to not use this module where deadlock might occur from a thread beingcreated that blocks waiting for another thread to be created. This often occurswith blocking I/O.
