Any experience with race conditions when running multiple bots simultaneously?
From User talk:Rua
Hello. I am getting tired of the one-second delay between saves, esp. since I have a job coming up that involves 100,000 pages or so. I am thinking of running multiple bots at once but I'm concerned about the possibility of race conditions when two bots try to work on the same page at the same time. Do you have any idea what happens in such a case? There's clearly code so that if you press Edit and then save and someone else saves in the meantime, you get an edit conflict, but I can't easily see how that could be implemented in pywikibot. Have you ever run multiple bots at once? If so, do you simply hope no clashes occur?
