How to synchronize python lists

Question

I have different threads and after processing they put data in a common list. Is there anything built in python for a list or a numpy array to be accessed by only a single thread. Secondly, if it is not,  can someone tell me how to do this?

Answer 1

threading provides Lock objects if you need to protect an entire critical section, or the Queuemodule provides a queue that is threadsafe.
