lock

This module’s scope covers operations related to mutexes, especially locks.

class tuna.io.lock.lock

This class’ responsibility is to provide a lock mechanism to mediate access to resource from competing threads.

It is not meant to be user-serviceable.

get()

This method’s goal is to give the lock to the requestor. If the lock is set, will block the call until the lock is unset, or the timeout elapses.

let()

This method’s goal is to unlocks the lock. Since a timeout may have released this lock before it is properly unlocked, a warning is sent to the log facility, so the user may adjust the relevant code.
