If you really need a global variable you can do
class ThreadSafe(dict):
forever=10**10
def __init__(self):
import thread
self['lock']=thread.allocate_lock()
def __setattr__(self,key,value):
self['lock'].acquire()
self[key]=value
self['lock'].release()
def __getattr__(self,key):
self['lock'].acquire()
value=self[key]
self['lock'].release()
return value
and where you need it use it as:
x=cache.ram('my_thread_safe_object',lambda:ThreadSafe
(),ThreadSafe.forever)
x.value=4
print x.value
If instead you need a backgroud process create one with
python web2py.py -S app -M -R your_backround_process.py
and have the process create (for example) a XMLRPC service to talk to
your apps.
