问题
I have several scripts. Each of them does some computation and it is completely independent from the others. Once these computations are done, they will be saved to disk and a record updated.
The record is maintained by an instance of a class, which saves itself to disks. I would like to have a single record instance used in multiple scripts (for example, record_manager = RecordManager(file_on_disk). And then record_manager.update(...) ); but I can't do this right now, because when updating the record there may be concurrent write accesses to the same file on disk, leading to data loss. So I have a separate record manager for every script, and then I merge the records manually later.
What is the easiest way to have a single instance used in all the scripts that solves the concurrent write access problem?
I am using macOS (High sierra) and linux (Ubuntu 16.04).
Thanks!

To build a custom solution to this you will probably need to write a short new queuing module. This queuing module will have write access to the file(s) alone and be passed write actions from the existing modules in your code.
The queue logic and logic should be a pretty straightforward queue architecture.
There may also be libraries that exist in python to handle this problem that would avoid you writing your own queue class.
Finally, it is possible that this whole thing will be/could be handled in some way by your OS, independent of python.
