Yes. The things to avoid are described at the bottom of:
http://docs.python.org/library/threading.html

On platforms without threads, 'import threading' will fail. There's a
standard library module dummy_threading which offers fake versions of
the facilities in threading. It suggests:

try:
    import threading as _threading
except ImportError:
    import dummy_threading as _threading
