python线程安全问题,您将如何使此Python字典具有线程安全性？

I have a Web Server running in Python. The server is private, so i only expect around 20 users to connect to it. The server is multi-threaded (8 cores at the moment, so 8 threads I guessed).

When requests come in, I am able to identify the users. On some queries, I need to update a simple dictionary of the form username -> Boolean. How could I make this one thread safe ?

If you need a lock (to avoid the race conditions Joonas described), and are stuck with Python 2.4,

import threading

lock = threading.Lock()

shared_dict = {}

def do_thing(user, value):

lock.acquire()

try:

shared_dict[user] = value

finally:

# Always called, even if exception is raised in try block

lock.release()
