No, they don't block. If they did, the performance would be lousy. And depending on your deployment scenario, it wouldn't even make sense to block, as multi-process environments can't be synchronized by this.
There are several options you have: - create temp files that you then move to the destination - this will work because file moving is an atomic operation - use a cooperative file-lock. There are recipes on activestate on how to do this in a cross-platform manner. Diez -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gesendet: 24.10.08 05:36:36 An: TurboGears <[email protected]> Betreff: [TurboGears] Concerned about creating/using directories if *multiple* users... My web app creates, writes to and deletes a temporary directory if a certain method is invoked. I'm concerned about implications if multiple users call this method at the *same time*. They will all be trying to create/delete/write simultaneously which will lead to problems right?.... In other words, TurboGears methods don't "block" for each user right? I can't assume each method is only invoked once at a time right? (I'm aware of Python's tempfile module to create temp files/dirs. I was hoping to avoid it. :) Any help greatly appreciated.
