     6    :synopsis: Drop-in replacement for the threading module.

     9 This module provides a duplicate interface to the :mod:`threading` module.  It

    10 is meant to be imported when the :mod:`thread` module is not provided on a

    11 platform.

    12 

    13 Suggested usage is::

    14 

    15    try:

    16        import threading as _threading

    17    except ImportError:

    18        import dummy_threading as _threading

    19 

    20 Be careful to not use this module where deadlock might occur from a thread

    21 being created that blocks waiting for another thread to be created.  This  often

    22 occurs with blocking I/O.
