This module provides a duplicate interface to the :mod:threading module. It was meant to be imported when the :mod:_thread module was not provided on a platform.

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.
