Deadlocks

Deadlocks can be a frustrating but common issue when dealing with concurrency in Python. They occur when two or more threads are blocked forever, each waiting on the other to release a resource.

Imagine a scenario where two cars are at a one-lane bridge, each waiting for the other to back up. They are stuck in a standstill, just like threads caught in a deadlock. Understanding how to identify, prevent, and resolve deadlocks is crucial for building robust concurrent applications.
