[issue11194] "lock.__exit__ == lock.release" should be False

[O.C.]

New submission from O.C. <oc-spam66 at laposte.net>:

Hello,

if 'lock' is a threading.Lock, the functions lock.__exit__() and lock.release() are different. The former takes 3 arguments, while the latter takes no argument. However, "lock.__exit__ == lock.release" returns True. Shouldn't it return False ?

Best regards,

O.C.

Details:
In [20]: lock=threading.Lock()
In [21]: lock.acquire()
In [22]: lock.__exit__(None,None,None)
In [23]: lock.locked()
Out[23]: False
In [24]: lock.acquire()
In [25]: lock.release(None,None,None)
TypeError: release() takes no arguments (3 given)
In [26]: lock.__exit__==lock.release
Out[26]: True
