[issue35391] threading.RLock exception handling while waiting

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

RLock is implemented in C nowadays so this problem doesn't occur anymore:
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Modules/_threadmodule.c#L436-L459

You can of course, however, import the pure Python RLock under the name "_PyRLock", which is still vulnerable to this issue:
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Lib/threading.py#L204-L206
