Sometimes you need to increment some numbers ... atomically ... in python.
AtomicLong was born out of the need for fast thread-safe counters in python.
It uses CFFI to bind GCC's Atomic Builtins.
Its value is a C long which can be incremented, decremented, and set atomically. It is inspired by Java's java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicLong.
Example:
>>> from atomiclong import AtomicLong
>>> a = AtomicLong(0)
>>> a += 1
>>> a.value
1
>>> a += 10
>>> a.value
11
>>> a.value = 1000
>>> a.value
1000
>>> a -= 100
>>> a.value
900
