an error in python lib?

[Wenhua Zhao]

Hi list,

I just noticed that in /usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py

class _Condition(_Verbose):
    ...
    def _is_owned(self):
        # Return True if lock is owned by current_thread.
        # This method is called only if __lock doesn't have
_is_owned().
        if self.__lock.acquire(0):
            self.__lock.release()
            return False
        else:
            return True

The return values seem to be wrong.  They should be swapped:

    def _is_owned(self):
        if self.__lock.acquire(0):
            self.__lock.release()
            return True
        else:
            return False

Or I understood it wrong here?

Thanks,
Wenhua
