[Async-sig] [python-tulip] asyncio.Lock equivalent for multiple processes

[Roberto Martínez]

Hi,

I don't know if there is a third party solution for this.

I think the closest you can get today using the standard library is using a
multiprocessing.manager().Lock (which can be shared among processes) and
call the lock.acquire() function with asyncio.run_in_executor(), using a
ThreadedPoolExecutor to avoid blocking the asyncio event loop.

Best regards,
Roberto
