locks; there is one lock to serialize access to the module's shared data, and
each handler also creates a lock to serialize access to its underlying I/O.
+If you are implementing asynchronous signal handlers using the :mod:`signal`
+module, you may not be able to use logging from within such handlers. This is
+because lock implementations in the :mod:`threading` module are not always
+re-entrant, and so cannot be invoked from such signal handlers.
