[issue35275] Reading umask (thread-safe)

[Thomas Guettler]

New submission from Thomas Guettler <guettli at thomas-guettler.de>:

Up to now there is no thread way to read the umask in Python

You can use this pattern:

current_umask = os.umask(0)  # line1
os.umask(current_umask)      # line2
return current_umask

A thread which executes between line1 and line2 will have a different umask.

I would be great, if the python standard library would provide correspondig thread safe method.
