Locking a method in Python?

问题

Here is my problem: I'm using APScheduler library to add scheduled jobs in my application. I have multiple jobs executing same code at the same time, but with different parameters. The problem occurs when these jobs access the same method at the same time which causes my program to work incorrectly.

I wanna know if there is a way to lock a method in Python 3.4 so that only one thread may access it at a time? If so, could you please post a simple example code? Thanks.

You can use a basic python locking mechanism:

from threading import Lock
lock = Lock()
...

def foo():
    lock.acquire()
    try:
        # only one thread can execute code there
    finally:
        lock.release() #release lock

Or with context managment:

def foo():
    with lock:
        # only one thread can execute code there
