Do you prefer I do a separate ``dummy_threading`` module or follow Martin's suggestions and just turn ``dummy_thread`` into a ``threading`` substitute itself?
Two separate modules. They have different APIs and it wouldn't be wise to export a different API in the dummy case than in the real case. (I'm sure you can figure out why.)
I would hope I could. =) OK, so as I said in the response to Tim's email, anyone who was actually going to look at the patch can hold off until I email the list again when I have ``dummy_threading`` done. And if someone can delete the old files from the patch I would appreciate it (almost all of them will have to be regenerated anyway). -Brett
