How can I add a key in a thread-safe manner?
I'm not entirely sure, but have you investigated dict.setdefault() ?
but how setdefault makes sense in this context? It's used to set a default
value when you try to retrieve an element from the dict, not when you try to
set a new one ...
I guess setdefault with a sentinel default value, then set to your
new value if d[k] is sentinel?
