Drop-in replacement for the \module{thread} module}
\declaremodule[dummythread]{standard}{dummy_thread}
\modulesynopsis{Drop-in replacement for the \refmodule{thread} module.}
This module provides a duplicate interface to the \refmodule{thread}
module. It is meant to be imported when the \refmodule{thread} module
is not provided on a platform.
Suggested usage is:
\begin{verbatim}
try:
import thread as _thread
except ImportError:
import dummy_thread as _thread
\end{verbatim}
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.
