The test is set in C#.  I suggested that was a bit silly for a Python candidate, and they agreed.  So I translated it into a Python test for them.

They were intrigued by this solution, but, after much internal discussion, ultimately concluded they didn't like it.  The primary objection was "why didn't you just use a conventional lock?".  The question successfully exposed that I was completely unaware of what convention dictated.  Nonetheless, I defend this solution, because, and I didn't enunciate it eloquently at the time, it does not create the bottleneck that a conventional lock would; in a typical lock/release solution all threads must pass through a common gate, creating a potential bottleneck.

This solution implements no gate and no bottleneck.   Threads seeking known keys can get on with their life without queuing for a lock.  Threads seeking unknown keys sleep until, the single thread that is fetching the valu
