I believe that "thread" be "threading" in the line "...imported when the
thread module is not provided..."?

From http://docs.python.org/lib/module-dummythreading.html

Why do you think so? The documentation is correct as it stands;
dummy_threading should be used when thread is not present, not when
threading is not present (as threading will always be present, it just
won't import when thread is not present).

Ahh, my mistake then.  I misunderstood what was going on.

Thanks,
 Dan
