Read only file open on windows file share in a Python script locks a local write?
I have an interesting issue I’m trying to solve, some background so you don’t just say “why not do it this way instead?!”.
There’s a PC running a commercial closed source scoreboard program, that I need to read data from for a program I’m writing in Python. The scoreboard software runs on a windows (10/11, not sure) desktop OS install. My software is written in Python, running on a windows 11 home laptop, inside PyCharm IDE while I develop it.
