+:mod:`dummy_thread` --- Drop-in replacement for the :mod:`thread` module
+========================================================================
+
+.. module:: dummy_thread
+   :synopsis: Drop-in replacement for the thread module.
+
+.. note::
+   The :mod:`dummy_thread` module has been renamed to :mod:`_dummy_thread` in
+   Python 3.0.  The :term:`2to3` tool will automatically adapt imports when
+   converting your sources to 3.0; however, you should consider using the
+   high-lever :mod:`dummy_threading` module instead.
+
+
+This module provides a duplicate interface to the :mod:`thread` module.  It is
+meant to be imported when the :mod:`thread` module is not provided on a
+platform.
+
+Suggested usage is::
+
+   try:
+       import thread as _thread
+   except ImportError:
+       import dummy_thread as _thread
+
+Be careful to not use this module where deadlock might occur from a thread
+being created that blocks waiting for another thread to be created.  This  often
+occurs with blocking I/O.
