I would assume they are the same as the basic principles of thread safety in any language:
- Don't rely on global state, because multiple of your functions might be running simultaneously This usually isn't very hard to achieve - just pass parameters instead of modifying globals. The places where it can get tricky are where you really *want* to use global state, such as for an in-memory cache. Usually the language provides some primitives to ensure that only one thread at a time is updating the cache. It appears that python gives you thread-safety for a lot of cases: http://effbot.org/zone/thread-synchronization.htm On Jun 29, 2011, at 1:20 AM, Greg wrote: > Hi - > > Could anyone familiar with threads explain the basic principals of > python thread-safety? > > Cheers! > Greg. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Google App Engine" group. > To post to this group, send email to google-appengine@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > google-appengine+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
