You know you can simply pass functions as parameters, right? def lock(func, *args): # ...setup result = func(*args) #... teardown return result.
And then, with 3 more lines you do a decorator out of that
def locked(func): # <'lock' body as above> return lock
in the end:
@locked def mythings(): # code that runs 'locked' ...

Today I think about lambda in Python and what if we introduce the new syntax: ```python def lock(*args, closure): # Do some stuff closure() # Call closure # Finish stuff
if __name__ == '__main__': lock(): # Do some things here is thread safe ```
This feature could be very similar as in `Kotlin` inline functions https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/inline-functions.html
Or even better, a context manager from contextlib import contextmanager @contextmanager def lock(*args): # Do some stuff yield # Finish stuff if __name__ == '__main__': with lock(): # Do somethings here is thread safe It's even so interesting that I don't even need to implement the lock function; there's already the Lock class in the threading module
