How do you know? Have you waited *infinitely* ;) > if c<5: > self.stdmutex.acquire() The problem you have a lot of threads that has already checked c < 5 condition but has not acquired the lock yet. Besides you have another problem: if a thread raises an exception you don't release the lock. Why don't you use Queue module for sane thread management?
