[Python] How to use threading.Lock in async function while object can be accessed from...

I want to use threading.Lock() in a async function, asyncio.Lock() is not thread safe so I cannot do with await asyncio.Lock():.

What is an effective way of doing so ? So far I've tried a simple function that uses the lock:

1)

async def main():
with await threading.Lock():
a = 6
return a
