Running same python from two different cores

Question

Is there a problem in running a python script from two different processes on separate cores on a cluster. The script resides in a global folder (accesable by both processes):

/cluster/A.py

I am concerned about the pycache and other stuff python writes...? Do both cores have problems in generating the same pycache in folder /cluster/ Can I safely do this or are there some issues?

Answer 1

No there should be no problems. The __pycache__ folder only store compiled version of the code. So if the code does not change, you can run multiple python instances in parallel without any issue.
