methods and functions in this module in the Python 2.x series are still
supported by this module.

- Due to the :term:`Global Interpreter Lock`, in CPython only one thread
- can execute Python code at once (even though certain performance-oriented
- libraries might overcome this limitation).
- If you want your application to make better of use of the computational
- resources of multi-core machines, you are advised to use
- :mod:`multiprocessing` or :class:`concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor`.
- However, threading is still an appropriate model if you want to run
- multiple I/O-bound tasks simultaneously.
