Message8736

Per docs:

This module provides a duplicate interface to the threading module. It is meant to be imported when the thread module is not provided on a platform.

Suggested usage is:

try:
    import threading as _threading
except ImportError:
    import dummy_threading as _threading

This has not come up as an issue other than by use core devs. Rewriting threading so it can be used by dummy_threading up to some ImportError doesn't make sense. Time to close out!
