The docs are contradictory on whether or not contextlib.redirect_stdout is reentrant, or reusable-but-not-reentrant. This would seem to be an oversight from issue19403, which probably should have changed "reusable but not reentrant" to "reentrant". Present in both current and upcoming docs: http://docs.python.org/3/library/contextlib.html http://docs.python.org/3.5/library/contextlib.html contextlib.redirect_stdout(new_target) ... This context manager is reusable but not reentrant. 29.6.3.1. Reentrant context managers ... threading.RLock is an example of a reentrant context manager, as are suppress() and redirect_stdout(). ... Note also that being reentrant is not the same thing as being thread safe. redirect_stdout(), for example...
