Note that you can wrap any of those methods with an asyncio.wait_for().
try:
try:
await asyncio.wait_for(lock.acquire(), 1.0)
except asyncio.TimeoutError: # times out after 1 second
print("deadlock!")
return
do_things_with_lock()
finally:
lock.release()
Although I must admit, it would be convenient to have a timeout parameter
directly in the methods like acquire, especially because it would make
timeouts usable directly in the async context manager:
async with lock.acquire(timeout=1.0):
do_things_with_lock()
