Re: [Kimchi-devel] Locking for multi-user env?

Hi, Kimchi uses a lock to do operations in the virtual machines. But I think you want a generic solution for any Resource or Collection, if so, there is no built in support for it yet. I don't see any reason to have a lock on a Collection as only GET and POST methods are allowed in it. And the POST action is only to create a new Resource in the given Collection. About your solution, I don't think we need a file. We can use threading.Lock() to do that.
