Not sure what you're talking about. The doc patch is about unacquired locks, not locks that someone else (another thread) holds. Indeed the standard Lock object (but not the RLock) does allow releasing from another thread. It's a feature (which makes it serve as a binary semaphore). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14502> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
