[issue29376] threading._DummyThread.__repr__ raises AssertionError

[Xiang Zhang]

Xiang Zhang added the comment:

This seems an regression from #18808, so nosy Tim and Antoine. Since _DummyThread is always alive and daemonic, I think the solution could be overriding is_alive in _DummyThread and always returning True.
