ACCEPTED ANSWER

Score 3

Instead of thread.lock use thread.LockType:

>>> import threading, thread
>>> mylock = threading.Lock()
>>> type(mylock)
<type 'thread.lock'>
>>> thread.LockType
<type 'thread.lock'>
>>> type(mylock) is thread.LockType
True

But it is preferable to use isinstance():

>>> isinstance(mylock, thread.LockType)
True

Use the isinstance() function instead.

>>> import threading, thread
>>> mylock = threading.Lock()
>>> type(mylock)
<type 'thread.lock'>
>>> isinstance(mylock, type(threading.Lock()))
True
