[issue11714] threading.Semaphore does not use try...finally

[Thomas Rachel]

Thomas Rachel <th.rachel at googlemail.com> added the comment:

I wonder if it is right what I wrote. After a second thought, the acquire() should come *after* try:, as well in threading.Event. Because if Ctrl-C is pressed while waiting in acquire(), a KeyboardInterrupt is thrown immediately after returning from acquire(). This lock must be release()d again in order to be consistent.
