"""Mutual exclusion -- for use with module sched
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A mutex has two pieces of state -- a 'locked' bit and a queue.
|
||
|
|
When the mutex is not locked, the queue is empty.
|
||
|
|
Otherwise, the queue contains 0 or more (function, argument) pairs
|
||
|
|
representing functions (or methods) waiting to acquire the lock.
|
||
|
|
When the mutex is unlocked while the queue is not empty,
|
||
|
|
the first queue entry is removed and its function(argument) pair called,
|
||
|
|
implying it now has the lock.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Of course, no multi-threading is implied -- hence the funny interface
|
||
|
|
for lock, where a function is called once the lock is aquired.
