title: Effect of time.sleep on thread access
body: <p>In python, I have a multi-threading application that accesses a global object. Am curious, if I put time.sleep() on a thread (say THREAD 1) that is about to access the global object, does time.sleep() delay THREAD 1's access to the global object such that other threads that don't have time.sleep() are able to get access first to the global object?</p>
