You don't need a queue, though; just use your own "write" function
with a lock.
Hmm... that would certainly work. I suppose it's even more efficient than a
queue in that the first thing the queue is going to do is to acquire a lock;
thanks for the idea!
def atomicwrite(fd, data) :
with lok :
fd.write(data)
Cool, I didn't know that threading.Lock() supported "with!" -- Just the other
day I was contemplating how one might go about duplicating the pattern in C++
where you do something like this:
{
Lock lok; // Constructor acquires lock, will be held until destructor
called (i.e., while lok remains in scope)
DoSomething();
} // Lock released
...clearly "with" does the job here.
