You know you can simply pass functions as parameters, right?
def lock(func, *args):
   # ...setup
   result = func(*args)
   #... teardown
  return result.

And then, with 3 more lines you do a decorator out of that

def locked(func):
    # <'lock' body as above>
    return lock


in the end:

@locked
def mythings():
   # code that runs 'locked'
   ...

    Today I think about lambda in Python and what if we introduce the
    new syntax:
    ```python
    def lock(*args, closure):
        # Do some stuff
        closure() # Call closure
        # Finish stuff

    if __name__ == '__main__':
        lock():
            # Do some things here is thread safe
    ```

    This feature could be very similar as in `Kotlin` inline functions
    https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/inline-functions.html

Or even better, a context manager

from contextlib import contextmanager
@contextmanager
def lock(*args):
    # Do some stuff
    yield
    # Finish stuff

if __name__ == '__main__':
    with lock():
        # Do somethings here is thread safe

It's even so interesting that I don't even need to implement the lock function; there's already the Lock class in the threading module
