-* The :mod:`threading` module API is being changed in Python 3.0 to
- use properties such as :attr:`daemon` instead of :meth:`setDaemon`
- and :meth:`isDaemon` methods, and some methods have been renamed to
- use underscores instead of camel-case; for example, the

- methods, but doesn't remove the old methods. (Carried out by
- several people, most notably Benjamin Peterson.)
