those of the <a class="reference internal" href="threading.html#module-threading" title="threading: Thread-based parallelism."><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">threading</span></code></a> module with two important caveats:</p>

<ul class="simple">
 | 
						|
<li><p>asyncio primitives are not thread-safe, therefore they should not

						|
that);</p></li>
 | 
						|
<li><p>methods of these synchronization primitives do not accept the <em>timeout</em>

argument; use the <a class="reference internal" href="asyncio-task.html#asyncio.wait_for" title="asyncio.wait_for"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">asyncio.wait_for()</span></code></a> function to perform

<dd><p>A Condition object.  Not thread-safe.</p>
 | 
						|
<p>An asyncio condition primitive can be used by a task to wait for
 | 
						|
some event to happen and then get exclusive access to a shared
 | 
						|
resource.</p>
 | 
						|
<p>In essence, a Condition object combines the functionality
 | 
						|
of an <a class="reference internal" href="#asyncio.Event" title="asyncio.Event"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Event</span></code></a> and a <a class="reference internal" href="#asyncio.Lock" title="asyncio.Lock"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Lock</span></code></a>.  It is possible to have
 | 
						|
multiple Condition objects share one Lock, which allows coordinating
 | 
						|
exclusive access to a shared resource between different tasks
 | 
						|
interested in particular states of that shared resource.</p>
 | 
						|
<p>The optional <em>lock</em> argument must be a <a class="reference internal" href="#asyncio.Lock" title="asyncio.Lock"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Lock</span></code></a> object or
 | 
						|
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">None</span></code>.  In the latter case a new Lock object is created
 | 
						|
automatically.</p>

<dd><p>A barrier object.  Not thread-safe.</p>

<p>A barrier is a simple synchronization primitive that allows to block until

						|
<em>parties</em> number of tasks are waiting on it.
 | 
						|
Tasks can wait on the <a class="reference internal" href="#asyncio.Barrier.wait" title="asyncio.Barrier.wait"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">wait()</span></code></a> method and would be blocked until
 |

the specified number of tasks end up waiting on <a class="reference internal" href="#asyncio.Barrier.wait" title="asyncio.Barrier.wait"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">wait()</span></code></a>.
 | 
						|
At that point all of the waiting tasks would unblock simultaneously.</p>

<p><a class="reference internal" href="../reference/compound_stmts.html#async-with"><code class="xref std std-keyword docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">async</span> <span class="pre">with</span></code></a> can be used as an alternative to awaiting on
