Synchronizing methods of a class

[Keith Veleba]

Chris,

Q&D example of <<class>>.__dict__.items() not working for me:

>>> import threading
>>> class A(threading.Thread):
...     def __init__(self):
...             threading.Thread.__init__(self)
...     def one(self):
...             pass
...     def two(self):
...             pass
...
>>> a = A()
>>> a.__dict__.items()
[('_Thread__block',
<Condition(<thread.lock object at 0x009BE070>, 0)>),
('_Thread__name', 'Thread-1'),
('_Thread__daemonic', False),
('_Thread__started', False),
('_Thread__target', None),
('_Thread__kwargs', {}),
('_Verbose__verbose', False),
('_Thread__args', ()),
('_Thread__stopped', False),
('_Thread__initialized', True)]

Neither function I added to the A class shows up.

However, I think it's because I'm using an instance of my class vs.
just referencing the class type.

If I type:

A.__dict__items()

I get the correct list:

[('__module__', '__main__'),
('__doc__', None),
('two', <function two at 0x009E21B0>),
('__init__', <function __init__ at 0x009E2170>),
('one', <function one at 0x009E2230>)]

In any case, thanks for the example reference.  That's helps me improve
my idea, and I will most likely use the methods in it.
