[Tutor] problem with threading module

[lonetwin]

Hi everybody,
     Could someone please explain this:
###########################################################
Python 2.0 (#1, Apr 11 2001, 19:18:08)
[GCC 2.96 20000731 (Linux-Mandrake 8.0 2.96-0.48mdk)] on linux-i386
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import thread
>>> import threading
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "./threading.py", line 12, in ?
    class TestThread(threading.Thread):
AttributeError: Thread
>>>
#########################################################
the threading module exists, and so does the definition of the Thread
class.....I'm just learning about threading, so I'm clue-less right now
