[Python-Dev] usefulness of Python version of threading.RLock

[Matt Joiner]

Nick did you mean to say "wrap python code around a reentrant lock to
create a non-reentrant lock"? Isn't that what PyRLock is doing?

FWIW having now read issues 13697 and 13550, I'm +1 for dropping Python
RLock, and all the logging machinery in threading.
