[Tutor] threading: getting latest elements from list/dict

[Vaibhav.bhawsar]

Hello
I have a thread updating a dictionary with new elements. How can I check for
new elements as they are inserted into the dictionary by the thread? In
general is it safe to read a dictionary or a list while it is being updated
by a running thread? Does the dictionary or list have to be locked while
reading?
many questions! :)
