Hi,
A module level dictionary 'd' and is accessed by different
threads/requests in a django web application. I need to update 'd' every
minute with a new data and the process takes about 5 seconds.
What could be best solution where I want the users to get either the old
value or the new and nothing in between.
I can think of a solution where a temp dictionary is constructed with a
new data and assigned to 'd' but now sure how this works!
Appreciate your ideas.
Making changes to a structure such as a dict isn't threadsafe, but
binding to a name is, so making a new dict, or copying the current dict
and changing the copy, and then binding, should be OK.
