Hi Nick,
When you say "high latency" (in __exit__), what does "high" mean? Is that order of magnitude what __exit__ usually means now, or network IO included?
(Use case: distributed locking and remotely stored locks: it doesn't take a long time on network scales, but it can take a long time on CPU scales.)
The status quo can only be made to work for in-memory locks. If the release step involves network access, then it's closer to the "database transaction" use case, because the __exit__ method may need to block. Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia
