PEP 3108 has thread slated to be renamed _thread (along with dummy_thread to _dummy_thread).

Renames are only occurring in 3.0, not 2.6.

Done in r63631. Fixer added in r63627 and r63629, notices to 2.6 docs added in r63630. Do you still want to warn when importing thread or dummy_thread directly in 2.6, like PEP 3108 says?

Yeah, it is essentially a deprecation so the warning should be there.

But then again I thought that about the renames. =) Someone might actually pickle something from thread, so not sure how best to handle this one.

Then I suggest to do the same thing as for all the other renames, leaving only the notice in the docs.
