  2526		* The :mod:`threading` module API is being changed in Python 3.0 to
  2527		use properties such as :attr:`daemon` instead of :meth:`setDaemon`
  2528		and :meth:`isDaemon` methods, and some methods have been renamed to
  2529		use underscores instead of camel-case; for example, the
  2530		:meth:`activeCount` method is renamed to :meth:`active_count`. The
  2531		2.6 version of the module supports the same properties and renamed
  2532		methods, but doesn't remove the old methods. (Carried out by
  2533		several people, most notably Benjamin Peterson.)
