Give an example of how deadlock can occur in a multithreaded Python program.

What will be an ideal response?


Consider the scenario where a thread enters a critical section that tries to open a
file. If the file does not exist and the thread does not catch the exception, the thread
terminates before releasing the lock. Now all other threads will deadlock, because
they block indefinitely after they call the lock’s acquire method.
