Can we make the `_thread` module truly private? (remove docs, deprecate things we don't expose via `threading`)

[gpshead]

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

The https://docs.python.org/3/library/_thread.html module has a history, it used to be thread in Python 2 and earlier IIRC. But we want everyone to use threading and the _ prefix is intentional to suggest "do not use". Can we take this private and deprecate its direct use?

_thread.start_new_thread() for example is not an API used by the standard library. We could delete that code (which launches untracked unjoinable threads). Possibly more.

investigation into what code in the world does still use it as why would be helpful.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

I suppose that there was third-party code that directly used start_new_thread(), allocate_lock() and other API. If they are still used in important code, this module can be considered as a tool for experts rather than simply an implementation detail. We should look how they are used and what can be alternatives.

FWIW, there is precedent with the imp module. We deprecated it in 3.4 and removed it from the docs in 3.12.

[gpshead]

Wow, still a lot. Some of those uses are likely legacy easy py3 porting results. But otherwise they can be introspected to inform us of what people may need. Some of these things already have exact replacements via threading.

Randomly picking some to look at from the "start_new_thread" list... the code in pydevd is disturbing. Monkey patching, talking about hiding things from Python, etc. barf. Maybe they have reasons to given what it is, but for any of these regardless of prohect... how much is 2.7 legacy vs necessary?

I guess "documentation" is the closest we're going to get to "fixing" this in the short term.
