Python 3.7 has been modified to always require threading support: * https://bugs.python.org/issue31370 * https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2017-September/149156.html commit a6a4dc816d68df04a7d592e0b6af8c7ecc4d4344 Author: Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> Date: Thu Sep 7 18:56:24 2017 +0200 bpo-31370: Remove support for threads-less builds (#3385) * Remove Setup.config * Always define WITH_THREAD for compatibility. -- In Python 3.8, the dummy_threading module is documented as: "This module provides a duplicate interface to the threading module. It was meant to be imported when the _thread module was not provided on a platform. 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." https://docs.python.org/dev/library/dummy_threading.html And the doc starts with: "Deprecated since version 3.7: Python now always has threading enabled. Please use threading instead." IMHO it's now time to remove this module. -- I proposed to remove these modules today after I saw a bug on _dummy_thread: bpo-36688. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37312> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
