distributed 2021.10.0

Parameters
acquire(self, timeout=None)

If the internal counter is greater than zero, decrement it by one and return True immediately. If it is zero, wait until a release() is called and return True.

Parameters

timeout : number or string or timedelta, optional

Seconds to wait on acquiring the semaphore. This does not include local coroutine time, network transfer time, etc.. Instead of number of seconds, it is also possible to specify a timedelta in string format, e.g. "200ms".

Acquire a semaphore.

Examples

See :

Local connectivity graph

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.

Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)

SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.

All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
