Documentation

There is no information about it in docs. But the code demonstrates that increment works correctly in multithreading context.

import concurrent.futures


def inc():
    global count
    for _ in range(1000):
        count += 1

for threads_count in range(1, 101):
    for _ in range(3):
        count = 0
        with concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=threads_count) as exe:
            for _ in range(10000):
                exe.submit(inc)

        print(f"{threads_count=}, {count=}")


import dis
dis.dis(inc)
output

11 0 LOAD_GLOBAL 0 (range)
2 LOAD_CONST 1 (1000)
4 CALL_FUNCTION 1
6 GET_ITER

10 STORE_FAST 0 (_)

12 12 LOAD_GLOBAL 1 (count)
14 LOAD_CONST 2 (1)
16 INPLACE_ADD
18 STORE_GLOBAL 1 (count)
20 JUMP_ABSOLUTE 4 (to 8)

11 >> 22 LOAD_CONST 0 (None)
24 RETURN_VALUE

Looks like '+=' isn't an atomic op. But stiil I have a correct result.

Can we just use it as a guarantee or it is just an accent coincidence?
