RLock

Explore the fundamentals of Python's RLock, a reentrant lock that permits a thread to acquire it multiple times. Understand its ownership, recursion tracking, and how to properly acquire and release RLocks to avoid deadlocks in multithreaded programming.

We'll cover the following...

Introduction

A reentrant lock is defined as a lock which can be reacquired by the same thread. A RLock object carries the notion of ownership. If a thread acquires a RLock object, it can chose to reacquire it as many times as possible. Consider the following snippet:
