Python Lock / Mutex minimal example (threading.Lock)

This minimal example creates a threading.Lock and locks it using a with statement. This is the simplest way of using a Lock.

threading_lock_example.py

from threading import Lock

lock = Lock()

with lock:
    print("Holding the lock!")

from threading import Lock

lock = Lock()

with lock:
    print("Holding the lock!")
