Re: [Python-Dev] Can someone look at dummy_thread (#622537)?

I don't propose to automate this. I propose this:

try: import threading except ImportError: import dummy_threading as threading

So is this an indirect request for me to write ``dumy_threading``?

I would suggest to make this import dummy_thread as threading i.e. have dummy_thread expose the union of the thread and threading APIs.

If it is it won't be hard: I would do an ``import *`` on ``threading``

That wont't work: "from threading import *" will raise an ImportError. I suggest to add dummy_thread to sys.modules, then execfile threading.py in dummy_thread, then remove it from sys.modules. Regards, Martin
