|
+ The code for our ``vote()`` view does have a small problem. It first gets
|
|
|
+ the ``selected_choice`` object from the database, then computes the new
|
|
|
+ value of ``votes``, and then saves it back to the database. If two users of
|
|
|
+ your Web site try to vote at *exactly the same time*, this might go wrong:
|
|
|
+ The same value, let's say 42, will be retrieved for ``votes``. Then, for
|
|
|
+ both users the new value of 43 is computed and saved, but 44 would be the
|
|
|
+ expected value.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ This is called a *race condition*. If you are interested, you can read
|
