Processes Locks: Inter-Processes Locks
Explore the use of interprocess locks in Python to coordinate access between independently started processes. Understand how the fasteners module leverages file-based locks to provide reliable, platform-dependent locking mechanisms. This lesson helps you implement safe resource access across distributed Python processes and avoid data corruption.

As stated earlier, multiprocessing.Lock only works for processes started from a single Python process. If your application is distributed across several Python processes, such as a daemon started independently, you need an interprocess lock mechanism.
Those locks are ...
