11This module provides a duplicate interface to the :mod:`threading` module.  It
12is meant to be imported when the :mod:`thread` module is not provided on a
13platform.
14
15Suggested usage is::
16
17   try:
18       import threading as _threading
19   except ImportError:
20       import dummy_threading as _threading
21
22Be careful to not use this module where deadlock might occur from a thread
23being created that blocks waiting for another thread to be created.  This  often
24occurs with blocking I/O.
