thread safe datastructures other than Queue?

Hello,
Python features the Queue.Queue object that provides thread-safe access.
What if I want thread access to other types of datastructures?

Would I need to pair e.g. each list, Set or hashmap with its own
threading.Semaphore() object?

Or is there an easier way to have thread-safe access to datastructures?

Thanks,

Bram Stolk
