nsync is a portable C library that provides a collection of advanced synchronization primitives designed to facilitate safe and efficient multithreaded programming. It offers reader-writer locks, condition variables, run-once initialization, waitable counters, and waitable bits for coordination and cancellation between threads. Unlike traditional pthreads-based synchronization, nsync introduces conditional critical sections, allowing developers to wait for arbitrary conditions without...

The majority of boltons strive to be “good enough” for a wide range of basic uses, leaving advanced use cases to Python’s myriad specialized 3rd-party libraries. In many cases the respective boltons module...
