[issue14308] '_DummyThread' object has no attribute '_Thread__block'

[sbt]

sbt <shibturn at gmail.com> added the comment:

_DummyThread.__init__() explicitly deletes self._Thread__block:

    def __init__(self):
        Thread.__init__(self, name=_newname("Dummy-%d"))

        # Thread.__block consumes an OS-level locking primitive, which
        # can never be used by a _DummyThread.  Since a _DummyThread
        # instance is immortal, that's bad, so release this resource.
        del self._Thread__block
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
