Does anyone know of a counting semaphare class/module
in Python ? Given the lock provided by the built-in
thread module it seems impossible to implement this
(it does support multiple waiters which I don't need,
but definitely is not counting). This also means that
whatever is defined in the threading module can't be
what I want.
Perhaps I don't quite understand your needs, but the standard
Semaphore object in the threading module claims to support counting:
http://docs.python.org/lib/semaphore-objects.html
I haven't used it myself yet but the Python docs have never promised
me anything that didn't work as described (yay!). I guess I must be
missing something.
