Is Pixi Cache thread-safe?

[cc636489]

Hi everyone,

I’ve recently started using Pixi for managing Python environments and packages. While exploring its features, I couldn't find detailed information about its cache mechanism. Specifically, I’d like to know:

• Is the Pixi cache thread-safe?
• If it is, does it implement any locking mechanism to prevent simultaneous writes or reads from corrupting the cache?

Understanding this is crucial for using Pixi in multi-threaded or concurrent processes. Any insights, documentation links, or user experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Yes is thread and multi-process safe. We test this in CI a lot. We use file locks in the several places to make sure this works.
