Is writing not a problem? Except that it's much harder to make all processes write at the same time and there less likely to trigger.

No, writing to the cache is actually fine. SQLite which is used internally by diskcache.Cache handles concurrency very well in most cases, except for changing settings of the database itself, and that is the problem here. On creation of the diskcache.Cache object, some sql PRAGMA statements are executed and they lead to the observed issues. It is not really clear why, this should work, but it doesn't.

The disk cache used to cache compilation in the gtfn backend has a race condition manifesting itself in
sqlite3.OperationalError: database is lockederrors if multiple python processes try to initialize thediskcache.Cacheobject concurrently. This PR fixes this by guarding the object creation by a file-based lock in the same directory as the database.
