Improve __repr__ string of synchronize tools in the multiprocessing module. #155092

Description

@YvesDup

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

To be consistant with representation string of threading sychronize tools and in accordance with the discussion from the #149447 PR , the missing id information must be added in the __repr__ of the following synchronization classes:

  • Lock, Rlock,
  • Semaphore, BoundedSemaphore,
  • Condition.

and refactoring must be performed to these 2 classes:

  • Event,
  • Barrier.

See some examples below:

import threading
import multiprocessing

print(threading.Semaphore(3))
print(multiprocessing.Semaphore(3))

print(threading.Lock())
print(multiprocessing.Lock())

print(threading.Event())
print(multiprocessing.Event())

print(threading.Barrier(2))
print(multiprocessing.Barrier(2))

The ouput is:

<threading.Semaphore at 0x10378c8a0: value=3>
<Semaphore(value=3)>
<unlocked _thread.lock object at 0x103612040>
<Lock(owner=None)>
<threading.Event at 0x10378ccc0: unset>
<Event at 0x10378ccc0 unset>
<threading.Barrier at 0x10378ccc0: waiters=0/2>
<multiprocessing.synchronize.Barrier at 0x10378ccc0: waiters=0/2>

A PR will be published soon.
