Ok, thanks, I moved the partial defs to __init__() and now it seams to 
work (I still have a but elsewhere, but this part no longer gives an error :


def __init__():
    self.registerServiceAtomic = partial(self.__registerService, True)
    self.registerServiceNonAtomic = partial(self.__registerService, False)

def __registerService(self, atomic, service):
    def reg(service):
        # registers the service
        ...
       
    if(atomic):
        # Lock the service dict and register the service, then unlock it
        self.__mutex.lock(reg, service)
        self.__mutex.unlock()
    else:
        reg(service)


Thanks,
Gabriel
