This is and old and deprecated module, you should not use it.
Use http://docs.python.org/library/threading.html#threading.Lock and friends
instead.
IMO the bug should be to remove this module and it's documentation :)

It was closed as "won't fix" because

Anyway, this module will be removed, or at least its API hidden, in 3.0."
