When the count increases from n to n+1 the "n+1 object" is created and then count is switched from referring to the "n object" to the new "n+1 object".
There is no stage that count is referring to something other than the "n object" or the "n+1 object" | 1 | 2,094 | 0 | 6 | 2010-09-15T04:12:00.000 | python,thread-safety | Python: safe to read values from an object in a thread? | 0 | 5 | 5 | 3,714,773 | 1 |

Read only operations are always thread-safe. The exception to this arises when you are reading more than one related value and expecting some form of consistency between them. Since writes can happen at any time, reads of multiple values may not be consistent and in... | 1 | 2,094 | 0 | 6 | 2010-09-15T04:12:00.000 | python,thread-safety | Python: safe to read values from an object in a thread? | 0 | 5 | 5 | 3,714,663 | 1 |

Weird things like the value not updating when it should won't matter.
