Source code: Lib/asyncio/locks.py asyncio synchronization primitives are designed to be similar to those of the threading module with two important caveats asyncio primitives are not thread-safe, therefore they should not be used for OS thread synchronization (use threading for that); methods of these synchronization primitives do not accept the timeout argument; use the asyncio.wait_for function to perform operations with timeouts. asyncio has the following basic synchronization primitives Lock Event Condition Semaphore BoundedSemaphore Barrier Attribution: Adapted from Python Documentation under PSF-2.0.
