I'm writing a python script to update some tables in a db. My problem is that I need to lock a couple of tables, perform several operations and read the corresponding output. I was thinking about lock in exclusive mode, but in the documentation I found that it is valid only in a transaction. But since I need to execute a command and read the output and so forth, I think I cannot use a transaction. What would you use to lock the table?
