Usage for shared objects

[dineshbvadhia]

Hi. I want to understand how to use pyReaderWriterLock for a simple shared objects use-case:

A high concurrency service with the number of reads >> writes. The shared objects are a database and dictionary, which are read or written at the same time to preserve consistency. The shared objects cannot be read while a write (of the shared objects) is in progress.

import threading
lock = threading.Lock()

def read_shared_objects():
    read_dict()
    read_db()
    
def write_shared_objects():
    with lock:
        write_dict()
        write_db()

How would pyReaderWriterLock be used in this case? Thanks

Ok understand. Closing.
