I've been googling around for a bit trying to find some mechanism for doing in Python something like Java's synchronized methods. In the decorators PEP, I see examples using a hypothetical synchronized decorator, but haven't stumbled across any actual implementation of such a decorator. I've also found Synch.py, but that seems to use pre-2.2 metaclasses from what I have read.
Basically, what I want to do is something like this: class MyClass: __metaclass__ = SynchronizedMeta @synchronized def my_sync_method(): pass where SychronizedMeta is some metaclass that implements synchronization logic for classes bearing some synchronized decorator (probably also defined by the module defining SynchronizedMeta). After looking in the Cheeseshop, the Python source distribution, and Google, I have not been able to find anything that implements this functionality. If there isn't anything, that's fine, I'll just write it myself (and hopefully be able to put it in the cheeseshop), but I'd rather avoid duplicating effort solving previously solved problems... So, does anyone know of anything that alreaady does this? (or are there some serious problems with my design?) TIA, Michael -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
