empty for the duration, and raises "ValueError" if it can detect
that the list has been mutated during a sort.
+Thread safety: Reading a single element from a "list" is *atomic*:
+
+ lst[i] # list.__getitem__
+
+The following methods traverse the list and use *atomic* reads of each
+item to perform their function. That means that they may return
+results affected by concurrent modifications:
+
+ item in lst
+ lst.index(item)
+ lst.count(item)
+
+All of the above methods/operations are also lock-free. They do not
+block concurrent modifications. Other operations that hold a lock will
+not block these from observing intermediate states.All other
+operations from here on block using the per-object lock.Writing a
+single item via "lst[i] = x" is safe to call from multiple threads and
+will not corrupt the list.The following operations return new objects
+and appear *atomic* to other threads:
+
+ lst1 + lst2 # concatenates two lists into a new list
+ x * lst # repeats lst x times into a new list
+ lst.copy() # returns a shallow copy of the list
+
+Methods that only operate on a single elements with no shifting
+required are *atomic*:
+
+ lst.append(x) # append to the end of the list, no shifting required
+ lst.pop() # pop element from the end of the list, no shifting required
+
+The "clear()" method is also *atomic*. Other threads cannot observe
+elements being removed.The "sort()" method is not *atomic*. Other
+threads cannot observe intermediate states during sorting, but the
+list appears empty for the duration of the sort.The following
+operations may allow lock-free operations to observe intermediate
+states since they modify multiple elements in place:
+
+ lst.insert(idx, item) # shifts elements
+ lst.pop(idx) # idx not at the end of the list, shifts elements
+ lst *= x # copies elements in place
+
+The "remove()" method may allow concurrent modifications since element
+comparison may execute arbitrary Python code (via
+"__eq__()")."extend()" is safe to call from multiple threads.
+However, its guarantees depend on the iterable passed to it. If it is
+a "list", a "tuple", a "set", a "frozenset", a "dict" or a dictionary
+view object (but not their subclasses), the "extend" operation is safe
+from concurrent modifications to the iterable. Otherwise, an iterator
+is created which can be concurrently modified by another thread. The
+same applies to inplace concatenation of a list with other iterables
+when using "lst += iterable".Similarly, assigning to a list slice with
+"lst[i:j] = iterable" is safe to call from multiple threads, but
+"iterable" is only locked when it is also a "list" (but not its
+subclasses).Operations that involve multiple accesses, as well as
+iteration, are never atomic. For example:
+
+ # NOT atomic: read-modify-write
+ lst[i] = lst[i] + 1
+
+ # NOT atomic: check-then-act
+ if lst:
+ item = lst.pop()
+
+ # NOT thread-safe: iteration while modifying
+ for item in lst:
+ process(item) # another thread may modify lst
+
+Consider external synchronization when sharing "list" instances across
+threads. See Python support for free threading for more information.
