The <a class="reference internal" href="../glossary.html#term-to3"><em class="xref std std-term">2to3</em></a> tool will automatically adapt imports when converting your

</div>
<p id="index-0">This module provides low-level primitives for working with multiple threads
(also called <em class="dfn">light-weight processes</em> or <em class="dfn">tasks</em>) &#8212; multiple threads of
control sharing their global data space.  For synchronization, simple locks
(also called <em class="dfn">mutexes</em> or <em class="dfn">binary semaphores</em>) are provided.
The <a class="reference internal" href="threading.html#module-threading" title="threading: Higher-level threading interface."><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">threading</span></tt></a> module provides an easier to use and higher-level
threading API built on top of this module.</p>
<p id="index-1">The module is optional.  It is supported on Windows, Linux, SGI IRIX, Solaris
2.x, as well as on systems that have a POSIX thread (a.k.a. &#8220;pthread&#8221;)
implementation.  For systems lacking the <a class="reference internal" href="#module-thread" title="thread: Create multiple threads of control within one interpreter."><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">thread</span></tt></a> module, the

<em>size</em> argument specifies the stack size to be used for subsequently created
threads, and must be 0 (use platform or configured default) or a positive
integer value of at least 32,768 (32kB). If changing the thread stack size is
unsupported, the <a class="reference internal" href="#thread.error" title="thread.error"><tt class="xref py py-exc docutils literal"><span class="pre">error</span></tt></a> exception is raised.  If the specified stack size is
invalid, a <a class="reference internal" href="exceptions.html#exceptions.ValueError" title="exceptions.ValueError"><tt class="xref py py-exc docutils literal"><span class="pre">ValueError</span></tt></a> is raised and the stack size is unmodified.  32kB
is currently the minimum supported stack size value to guarantee sufficient
stack space for the interpreter itself.  Note that some platforms may have
particular restrictions on values for the stack size, such as requiring a
minimum stack size &gt; 32kB or requiring allocation in multiples of the system
memory page size - platform documentation should be referred to for more
information (4kB pages are common; using multiples of 4096 for the stack size is
the suggested approach in the absence of more specific information).
Availability: Windows, systems with POSIX threads.</p>

<p>Lock objects have the following methods:</p>

<dd><p>Without the optional argument, this method acquires the lock unconditionally, if
necessary waiting until it is released by another thread (only one thread at a
time can acquire a lock &#8212; that&#8217;s their reason for existence).  If the integer
<em>waitflag</em> argument is present, the action depends on its value: if it is zero,
the lock is only acquired if it can be acquired immediately without waiting,
while if it is nonzero, the lock is acquired unconditionally as before.  The
return value is <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">True</span></tt> if the lock is acquired successfully, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">False</span></tt> if not.</p>
</dd></dl>

<dl class="method">
<dt id="thread.lock.release">
<tt class="descclassname">lock.</tt><tt class="descname">release</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big><a class="headerlink" href="#thread.lock.release" title="Permalink to this definition">¶</a></dt>
<dd><p>Releases the lock.  The lock must have been acquired earlier, but not
necessarily by the same thread.</p>
</dd></dl>

<dl class="method">
<dt id="thread.lock.locked">
<tt class="descclassname">lock.</tt><tt class="descname">locked</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big><a class="headerlink" href="#thread.lock.locked" title="Permalink to this definition">¶</a></dt>
<dd><p>Return the status of the lock: <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">True</span></tt> if it has been acquired by some thread,
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">False</span></tt> if not.</p>
</dd></dl>

<p>In addition to these methods, lock objects can also be used via the
<a class="reference internal" href="../reference/compound_stmts.html#with"><tt class="xref std std-keyword docutils literal"><span class="pre">with</span></tt></a> statement, e.g.:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="kn">import</span> <span class="nn">thread</span>
