Is advisory file locking an option? Such as the "portalocker" module for Python?
You can have your writer process obtain an exclusive lock (and block
until it's obtained), while the readers obtain shared locks for the
duration of their read.
thanks, but I have no control over (and little knowledge about) the other process; the intention is to poll an output
folder for say *.txt files and post these to a web server for processing.
Readers don't block other readers, while writers block both writers and readers.
