Is it possible to use the logging-module in a threadless environment?

[Roger]

I'd like to use a program (roundup) that imports the logging.config
module on a machine where I could not get the thread and threading
modules to compile.

How dangerous is it to changing /lib/python2.4/logging/config.py to
something like:

import dummy_thread as thread, dummy_threading as threading


Thanks in advance,
Roger Erens

I believe it's a bug and logging/config.py should use the same approach
as logging/__init__.py do:

try:
import thread
import threading
except ImportError:
thread = None
