A Python multiprocessing.Lock is a synchronization primitive that allows multiple processes or threads to access a shared resource in a mutually exclusive manner. It provides a way to ensure that only one process or thread can execute a critical section of code at a time, preventing concurrent access and potential data corruption. The lock can be acquired by a process or thread and released when the critical section is completed, allowing other processes or threads to acquire the lock afterwards. This helps to maintain data integrity and avoid race conditions in a multi-process or multi-threaded environment.
