Subject: Issue #3812: Failed to build python if configure --without-threads.
X-Git-Tag: v3.0rc1~46
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=54a1cc68a1e9eb81c8336634e51ae5736472e85b;p=python

Issue #3812: Failed to build python if configure --without-threads.

Removed itertools usage from Lib/traceback.py, because itertools
is extension module, so maybe unavailable on build process.
(Lib/_dummy_thread.py uses Lib/traceback.py)
