15.3.8 Using locks, conditions, and semaphores in the `with` statement

All of the objects provided by this module that have `acquire()` and `release()` methods can be used as context managers for a `with` statement. The `acquire()` method will be called when the block is entered, and `release()` will be called when the block is exited.

Currently, `Lock`, `RLock`, `Condition`, `Semaphore`, and `BoundedSemaphore` objects may be used as `with` statement context managers. For example:

    from __future__ import with_statement
    import threading

    some_rlock = threading.RLock()

    with some_rlock:
        print "some_rlock is locked while this executes"
