In OS/2 C, I would do this:
main()
{
...
DosCreateMutexSem(NULL, &hmtx, 0UL, FALSE);
...
}
thread()
{
...
DosRequestMutexSem(hmtx);
Locked!
DosReleaseMutexSem(hmtx);
...
}
How would I go about doing that in Python?
I figured this part out:
lockobj = mutex()
lockobj.lock(foo, "bar")
Locked!
lockobj.unlock()
Now, what (and more importantly: WHY?!) - is foo and "bar" for?
I have written a dummyfunction for foo which does nothing when
called, but I fail to see the point of its existence. Could someone
provide an example when this would be useful?
