class Lock:

    """Reentrant lock.

    This is a mutex-like object which can be acquired by the same
    thread more than once.  It keeps a reference count of the number
    of times it has been acquired by the same thread.  Each acquire()
    call must be matched by a release() call and only the last
    release() call actually releases the lock for acquisition by
    another thread.

    The implementation uses two locks internally:

    __mutex is a short term lock used to protect the instance variables
    __wait is the lock for which other threads wait

    A thread intending to acquire both locks should acquire __wait
    first.

   The implementation uses two other instance variables, protected by
   locking __mutex:

    __tid is the thread ID of the thread that currently has the lock
    __count is the number of times the current thread has acquired it

    When the lock is released, __tid is None and __count is zero.
