[New-bugs-announce] [issue13809] bz2 does not work when threads are disabled

[Amaury Forgeot d'Arc]

New submission from Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <amauryfa at gmail.com>:

In bz2.py, "import threading" prevents the bz2 module from working when threads are not enabled.  The attached patch removes the limitation and provides a fake lock object.

I don't know if this should be backported to 3.2.
