Agreed! Anything at the Python level that cares whether the thread is still
alive will call _wait_for_tstate_lock() again, and get another chance each time
to notice that the tstate lock has been freed.
Instead of:
try:
if lock.acquire_and_release(block, timeout):
self._stop
except:
if not lock.locked():
self._stop()
I'd prefer:
try:
lock.acquire_and_release(block, timeout)
finally:
if not lock.locked():
self._stop()
Because, at the Python level, whether acquire_and_release() succeeded at its
task depends entirely on whether the lock is free afterward. That's what we're
_really_ looking for, and is so on all possible platforms.
