Mirror Module to 'threading' in VEX Python?

Does anyone know if the ‘threading’ library from Python and its respective methods are available in the Vexcode environment? I am trying to run two functions at the same time (asynchronously, but without the async methods; for the sake of convenience) and was researching the regular threading module; however, when I downloaded I was told the library did not exist. Anyone know what the equivalent of these methods would be (see below)? Or if there is another library I can import to do these?
task.start(), task.join(), or Thread(target=func, args=my_args)

Thanks!
