The tp_name field in thread.LockType is set as "thread.lock". This is incorrect and conflicts with the value set in dummy_thread.

>>> import thread
>>> import dummy_thread
>>> thread.LockType.__name__
'lock'
>>> dummy_thread.LockType.__name__
'LockType'

Code which depends on the ability to look up a class based on module and name (see the following code taken from pickle.py) breaks due to this behavior, so my preferred fix would be to change tp_name to a value consistent with dummy_thread.

try:
    __import__(module)
    mod = sys.modules[module]
    klass = getattr(mod, name)
except (ImportError, KeyError, AttributeError):
    raise PicklingError(
        "Can't pickle %r: it's not found as %s.%s" %
         (obj, module, name))

Happy to submit a patch if someone could confirm.
