The general rule in Python is that nothing can be considered atomic unless specifically documented as atomic (such as the queue module or lru_cache which have internal locks). The only safe action is to put locks around all accesses to shared resources. We should have a FAQ entry to that effect. It should also note that "thread-safe" means different things to different people. ---------- nosy: +rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35276> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
