hi, what i want to achieve: i have a cgi file, that writes an entry to a text-file.. like a log entry (when was it invoked, when did his worke end). it's one line of text.
the problem is: what happens if 2 users invoke the cgi at the same time? and it will happen, because i am trying now to stress test it, so i will start 5-10 requests in parallel and so on. so, how does one synchronizes several processes in python? first idea was that the cgi will create a new temp file every time, and at the end of the stress-test, i'll collect the content of all those files. but that seems as a stupid way to do it :( another idea was to use a simple database (sqlite?) which probably has this problem solved already... any better ideas? thanks, gabor -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
