Share a dict with multiple Python scripts

Question

I\'d like a unique dict (key/value) database to be accessible from multiple Python scripts running at the same time.

If script1.py updates

Answer 1

You can use python dictionary for this purpose.

Create a generic class or script named as G, that initializes a dictionary in it. The G will run the script1.py & script2.py and passes the dictionary to both scripts file, in python dictionary is passed by reference by default. In this way, a single dictionary will be used to store data and both scripts can modify dictionary values, changes can be seen in both of the scripts. I hope script1.py and script2.py are class based. It doesn't guarantee the persistence of data. For persistence, you can store the data in the database after x intervals.

Example

script1.py

class SCRIPT1:

    def __init__(self, dictionary):
        self.dictionary = dictionary
        self.dictionary.update({"a":"a"})
        print("SCRIPT1 : ", self.dictionary)

    def update(self):
        self.dictionary.update({"c":"c"})          

script2.py

class SCRIPT2:
    def __init__(self, dictionary):
        self.dictionary = dictionary
        self.dictionary.update({"b":"b"})
        print("SCRIPT 2 : " , self.dictionary)

main_script.py

import script1
import script2

x = {}

obj1 = script1.SCRIPT1(x) # output: SCRIPT1 :  {'a': 'a'}
obj2 = script2.SCRIPT2(x) # output: SCRIPT 2 :  {'a': 'a', 'b': 'b'}
obj1.update()
print("SCRIPT 1 dict: ", obj1.dictionary) # output: SCRIPT 1 dict:  {'c': 'c', 'a': 'a', 'b': 'b'}

print("SCRIPT 2 dict: ", obj2.dictionary) # output: SCRIPT 2 dict:  {'c': 'c', 'a': 'a', 'b': 'b'}

Also create an empty _ init _.py file in the directory where you will run the scripts.
