如何在python中频繁执行文件读/写操作(多线程)?

我的问题是:我需要通过不同的线程对一个文件执行频繁的读/写操作,我倾向于使用threading.RLock().acquire()和threading.RLock().release()来锁定资源(例如,一个txt文件)。问题是,您可以在某个线程中轻松地执行文件写入操作,如何在线程中获取返回值?这是我的示例代码:

FileLock = threading.RLock()

def FileReadingWriting(self, Input, Mode)

    #### Input: things to write
    #### Mode:    1    -    write to the file
    ####          2    -    read from the file

    FileLock.acquire()

    if Mode == 1:
        TheFile = open("example.txt", "w")
        TheFile.write(Input)
        TheFile.close()
    elif Mode == 2:
        TheFile = open("example.txt", "r")
        Content = TheFile.read()
        TheFile.close()

        return Content #### Obviously this won't work, but if I want to get the content in a thread, how should I code?

    FileLock.release()
